Jonas is able to see beyond the strict rules and regulations of the community to understand the value of emotions and individuality. The Giver, who transmits memories to Jonas, can see beyond the controlled and limited experiences of the community to remember the depth of human experience. Jonas and the Giver both see beyond the facade of a perfect society to recognize the sacrifices and consequences that have been hidden from the residents.
The Giver confirms that Jonas is starting to see beyond what others in the community can see, including understanding colors, feelings, and memories. Jonas is beginning to experience a broader range of emotions and perceptions that were previously suppressed in their controlled society.
He has blue eyes and the ability to see beyond.

He was seeing beyond , & if you read more into The Giver ; it tells you , that JOnas is beginning to see the color red .
Jonas realizes he has the capacity to see beyond when he starts experiencing the stirrings of emotions that are suppressed in his community. These stirrings allow him to feel things deeply and connect with the memories transmitted by the Giver, leading him to question the limitations of his society and develop a broader understanding of the world.
Jonas's community has no colour in it, it is all equal, they have "sameness". So the capacity to see beyond means that Jonas was able to see parts of his community the way they should be, with colour and such. That's why he can see Fiona's red hair.
He didn't give Jonas a memory - Jonas already had that ability when he was born. It was because of that ability Jonas got chosen as Receiver of Memory - the Giver only encouraged him to develop it.
In "The Giver," the apple symbolizes the ability to see beyond the structured and controlled society that Jonas lives in. It represents Jonas' growing awareness and awakening to the true complexities and beauty of the world outside his community. The apple is a metaphor for the power of individual choice and experience, contrasting with the sameness and conformity of his society.
In "The Giver," Jonas witnessed the phenomenon of color when the Giver showed him an apple and the color red. The Giver explained that before the community became "Sameness," people could see colors, but over time, they chose to eliminate them to create a more controlled society. Seeing the color red opened Jonas's eyes to the possibilities beyond what he had known.
