Choose + › New deck from a text… on the shelf, or ⋯ › Make cards from a text… on a deck’s page. Paste notes, an article or a word list. Choose Questions, Definitions, Pairs or Cloze and how many (10 to 50), and Apple Intelligence drafts the cards on your iPhone. Your text doesn’t leave it.
Every card waits for you: tap one to edit it, swipe to discard it, and tap Add, which counts the cards you kept (Add 12 cards), to put them in the deck. A card whose answer isn’t in your text carries a red dot: it may be invented. RectoVerso says what it left out and why (“3 left out: 2 repeated, 1 gave its answer away”). For now it makes decks from English texts; a text in another language says so.
If the option says Apple Intelligence isn’t available:
- It’s off: turn it on in the iPhone’s Settings.
- It isn’t ready on this iPhone yet: decks can be made once it is. Apple says only that the model isn’t ready, a download in progress or another system reason; it gives no progress.
- This iPhone can’t run Apple Intelligence: New deck from a text… and Make cards from a text… aren’t shown.
