thank you both for your replies, but my question is how to get the Playground App installed... do you get it when you upgrade to 18.2 or do you get it after your request to have Apple Intelligence is processed ??

thanks for the idea. I went to messages and request Early Access, but still do not have the Playground App. im in the queue to be notified, but curious if you got the app after applying via messages .. For those who are confused, goto message app, instead of typing click the emoji on the bottom left below the keyboard. enter something in the "describe an emoji" and click the icon to the right of this field.
