How to integrate Apple's journaling suggestions

iOS 17.2 introduced the ability to incorporate personalized journaling suggestions into your journal entries. This uses your activities, photos, and locations to offer customized suggestions, offering a private and personalized journaling experience.

Journaling suggestions is only available on iPhone.

Adding a journaling suggestion

  1. When editing an entry, tap the magic pencil icon on the keyboard toolbar.
  2. Browse through the personalized suggestions, based on your recent activities, photos, and locations. Select one that resonates with your experiences or thoughts.
  3. The chosen suggestion will automatically populate your journal entry, allowing you to edit or save it as is.

Prioritizing your privacy

Apple has designed this feature with a strong focus on privacy. Your personal data, including the specifics of the suggestions, remains confidential. Diarly only knows when a suggestion is used, not its content. This approach is similar to how photo access is managed, assuring you full control over your shared information.
