Updates Coming with iOS 18.3 Beta
In its latest update, iOS 18.3 (beginning with beta version 3), Apple plans several important modifications aimed at refining the notification summary feature:
- Initial Suspension for Certain Categories: Summaries for applications under the News & Entertainment category will be temporarily turned off until future updates enhance their summarizing capabilities.
- Clarified Beta Status: When users enable Notification Summaries within settings, they will receive clear indications that this feature is still in beta testing and carries potential inaccuracies.
- Differentiation of Summarized Text: Notifications generated by AI will appear in italics and accompanied by an AI summary icon, making them easily distinguishable from standard alerts.
- Easier Customization from Lock Screen: Users can promptly disable Notification Summaries for any app directly via the lock screen; simply swipe left on a notification, select “Options,” then choose “Turn off Summaries.”
The aforementioned alterations are already active commencing with iOS 18.3 beta version 3 and are anticipated to remain available upon widespread release, expected around late January or early February.
