Some important changes are coming to Apple Intelligence notification summaries. With the latest slate of developer previews for iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3 and macOS Sequoia 15.3, Apple has suspended aggregated system notifications, especially from news and entertainment apps, while it works to improve alerts. .

The company also added a new disclosure that appears when users first activate notification summaries. It notes that notifications are a beta feature and that they may produce unexpected results. Separately, the betas add a new option that allows users to decide from the lock screen if they want notifications from an app to be summarized. Finally, AI-generated alerts use italicized text to better distinguish them from their non-summarized counterparts.

Last week, Apple Engadget said it is working on an update of notification summaries. “Apple Intelligence features are in beta and we’re constantly making improvements with the help of user feedback,” Apple said. “A software update in the coming weeks will further clarify whether the text displayed is the summary provided by Apple Intelligence.

Notification summaries are one of the features that came with the initial release of Apple Intelligence with iOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1. Shortly after launching to regular users, they quickly brought bad press for Apple. Especially, the BBC published several reports accusing the blurbs of spreading misinformation. A particularly egregious example saw a summary claim that Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, shot himself.
