Apple's Latest iOS Beta Quietly Kills AI News Notifications ...Middle East

News by : (Live Hacker) -

As someone who is inundated with emails and messages throughout the day, one of the Apple Intelligence features I was most cautiously optimistic about was Notification Summaries. The feature aims to make sorting through the pings on your Lock Screen a neater, faster experience, by grouping multiple notifications from the same app together and quickly summarizing the lot. Unfortunately, it seems the feature isn’t quite ready yet, seeing as the BBC complained to Apple that Notification Summaries made up false headlines for its news stories. Now, with iOS 18.3 beta 3, Apple is rolling back how involved the feature is, and is making it easier to opt out of entirely.

No AI summaries for news apps

Given that Notification Summaries had previously sent users what looked like an official BBC alert that United Healthcare shooting suspect Luigi Mangione had shot himself when the paper only mentioned an “angry outburst,” that’s probably for the best.

More direct warnings about hallucinations

To that end, when you’re setting up Notification Summaries for the first time, Apple will also now tell you, “This beta feature will occasionally make mistakes that could misrepresent the meaning of the original content.” Yes, even the version of Notification Summaries present in the current public iOS build is considered a beta.

AI-written notifications will look different

This really should have been there at launch. In order to indicate when a notification is an AI-written summary rather than an original, Notification Summaries will now be written in italics. Previously, the only real indication when a notification was a summary was a small icon to the left of the summary showing that multiple notifications were being summarized and grouped together.

To do this, swipe left on any app’s notification banner, tap Options, then select Turn off [app name] Summaries. You can also rate a summary’s accuracy from this menu, by giving it either a thumbs up or thumbs down.

Notifications > Summarize Notifications.

How to Install iOS 18.3 beta 3

General > Software Update > Beta Updates. If you’re also enrolled in the developer beta program (you don’t need to be in this instance), you’ll be able to choose between iOS 18 Developer Beta or iOS 18 Public Beta here, but either will work if you only see one. Make your selection, then tap Back and download iOS 18.3 Beta 3 when it pops up on your screen.

Note that beta releases tend to be buggier than final builds, so download this update to your main device at your own risk.
