Apple has halted AI notification summaries for news and entertainment apps after facing backlash for generating inaccurate news alerts. In addition, the company introduced changes to the general announcement summaries to allow for greater transparency.

With the latest round of developer previews for iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3, Apple disabled notification summaries for all news and entertainment apps and will enable it again in a future update after refining it.

The change comes a few weeks after the BBC Apple complained after one of its articles misrepresented that Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had shot himself.

In addition to pulling notification summaries for selected apps, all notification summaries will now be displayed in italics to make it easier for users to read them apart from regular notifications. Additionally, users can disable notification summaries for a specific app directly from their Lock Screen.

Apple will also begin notifying users that the notification summaries feature is a beta feature when they enable the feature. This notification, which appears in the Settings app, informs users that the feature may contain errors.

The changes don’t come as a surprise, as Apple said last week it would release an update to “further clarification” that the text displayed in a notification summary is generated by Apple Intelligence. Some suspect it will be in the form of a new label or badge but so far that has not been the case.

While a public beta is expected to arrive next week, it is unknown when iOS 18.3 will be available to the public.
