Apple Notification Summaries Suspended Temporarily Until iOS 18.3 or Later Update

Apple has temporarily suspended its notification summaries provided through Apple Intelligence, citing issues with misleading information. The feature is set to return in an upcoming update, possibly with the final version of iOS 18.3 or later if necessary.

The suspension follows criticism after the distribution of incorrect notifications, including those claiming a BBC journalist had committed suicide and another mentioning Rafael Nadal’s homosexuality. Apple aims to improve the feature to better distinguish between summaries generated by its intelligence and information from media outlets.

Users can report any issues they encounter with unexpected notifications. The feature was previously announced as a beta and warned users that errors were possible, with the summary potentially altering the meaning of original headlines.

In related news, Apple has introduced new features and updates across various platforms. iOS 18 will bring nearly 250 new features, including improved Camera Control and revamped apps like Photos and Maps. Additionally, macOS Sequoia introduces a new Passwords app, Math Notes, and more responsive native apps.
