I\u2019ve found those capabilities very useful thus far, and I\u2019d love to see Apple take it even further with iOS 27.<\/p>\n<p>With iOS 26, Apple Intelligence <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/07\/15\/iphone-screenshots-are-getting-three-powerful-new-features-in-ios-26\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">offers three new<\/a> Visual Intelligence features for screenshots: the ability to quickly create Calendar events, the ability to search for similar images (useful for shopping), and the ability to ask ChatGPT questions about your screenshot.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve loved the ability to quickly create Calendar events with Visual Intelligence, and it\u2019s certainly made me a <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/01\/11\/ios-26-new-screenshot-apple-intelligence-favorite-feature\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more avid user<\/a> of the Calendar app on my iPhone. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"512\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-calendar-ios-26.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1011246\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, Apple could take these capabilities a step further in iOS 27, by adding Reminders to Visual Intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Reminders integration<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s loads of potential for Reminders in Visual Intelligence. At least personally, I\u2019d love to have the ability to quickly screenshot something and then turn said thing into a Reminder.<\/p>\n<p>If I\u2019m researching something, it\u2019d be nice to be able to quickly take a screenshot and turn it into a Reminder to come back to later. Think of it as a universal bookmarking tool of sorts.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, people will also text me asking them to remind me of things. (I\u2019m not sure why some people pretend I\u2019m a human reminder, but that\u2019s besides the point.) If you could quickly screenshot said text conversation and turn that snippet into a reminder, that could also be immensely helpful.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure such a feature would require much more advanced analysis than the calendar feature does, since figuring out what someone is actually requesting a reminder for is a lot more complicated than just finding a date\/time and title. <\/p>\n<p>I do think this capability has a lot of potential, though. It could even work nicely with Visual Intelligence in Camera Control, where you could take a photo of something and generate a reminder from it.<\/p>\n<p>Wrap up<\/p>\n<p>iOS 27 will be unveiled in just over a week at WWDC26. Apple Intelligence should be the star of the show, with some of the major features being a <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/05\/17\/apple-launching-new-siri-app-next-month-with-auto-deleting-chat-history\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">new Siri app<\/a>, an <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/05\/28\/ios-27-leak-reveals-new-siri-design-camera-app-more\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">upgraded Camera app<\/a> with a new Siri mode, as well as Apple finally delivering on its long-promised smarter Siri, thanks to a <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/05\/28\/new-details-on-apple-google-ai-deal-revealed-including-nvidia-chips-report\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">new partnership with Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What are you looking forward to most with iOS 27?
