Every iPhone user should use my favorite iOS 26 feature for a productivity boost
"I struggle to find genuinely helpful artificial intelligence features in daily life. Sure, removing unwanted objects from my photos is nice to have, but most other AI capabilities on recent phones have been one-time party tricks at best. Unlike one of those features, I found a handy use case with Galaxy AI on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra last year."
"As a freelancer who needs to coordinate with multiple people across apps and time zones for deadlines and meetings, adding things to my calendar helps me block my time and be more organized. You usually need to add things manually to your Calendar app, which can be time-consuming. After all, it adds up if you're doing this task multiple times per day. I struggle with this manual approach, and that is why it feels refreshing to have this ability just a tap away."
"Apple's Add to Calendar feature is part of Visual Intelligence. All you need to do is take a screenshot of an event invite, and AI will suggest the "Add to Calendar" prompt. Tap on it, and it creates an event, which you can edit or add to your Calendar. For instance, I received a Diwali party invite with date, time, and place details."
Add to Calendar is part of Apple's Visual Intelligence and converts event invite screenshots into suggested calendar events. The system extracts date, time, and location, then offers an 'Add to Calendar' prompt that creates an editable event. The feature demonstrates higher accuracy than similar Android implementations and minimizes hallucination. It works on every iPhone compatible with iOS 26 and has been refined from developer beta to the stable release. The capability reduces repetitive manual entry, aiding scheduling and coordination across apps and time zones. The one-tap workflow streamlines event creation and saves time for users who frequently add appointments.
