Apple has reintroduced AI-powered notification summaries for news and entertainment apps in the fourth iOS 18 developer beta, months after temporarily disabling the feature due to accuracy issues with BBC headlines. The return comes with enhanced warnings about potential errors, signaling Apple’s cautious approach to deploying Apple Intelligence features that could misrepresent critical information.
What you should know: Apple Intelligence notification summaries are back with stronger disclaimers about their limitations.
- Users installing the new beta see a splash screen where they can opt into summarized notifications for News & Entertainment apps.
- Apple displays a prominent red warning stating “Summarization may change the meaning of the original headlines. Verify information.”
- The feature carries a beta label with additional warnings that “summaries may contain errors.”
The backstory: Apple pulled the plug on news summarization earlier this year after the AI botched several BBC headlines, creating misleading or inaccurate summaries of important news stories.
- The company promised at the time that summarized notifications would return in a future update with improvements.
- This marks Apple’s attempt to balance AI convenience features with the responsibility of accurately representing news content.
Other iOS 18 updates: The latest beta also refines the Liquid Glass design elements introduced in earlier versions.
- Apple has been adjusting the translucency levels of Liquid Glass components throughout the beta testing process.
- The visual changes represent continued tweaking of iOS 18’s aesthetic direction ahead of public release.
What’s next: Apple plans to launch a public beta of iOS 18 later this month, with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman predicting an arrival “around the 23rd” of July.
