How to integrate Apple's journaling suggestions
Apple's release of version 17.2 introduces an innovative feature for journaling app developers: the ability to incorporate personalized journaling suggestions into your journal entries. This utilizes your activities, photos, and locations to offer customized suggestions, ensuring a private and personalized journaling experience.
📚 Note: This feature is only available for iPhone users.
Adding a journaling suggestion
- Begin by tapping the magic pencil icon.
- Browse through the personalized suggestions, based on your recent activities, photos, and locations. Select one that resonates with your experiences or thoughts.
- The chosen suggestion will automatically populate your journal entry, allowing you to edit or save it as is.
💡 Tip: To save a suggestion for future reference without creating a journal entry, press and hold the suggestion, then select 'Save Without Writing'.
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. As developers, we only know 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 and utilized information.
