Notification summary changes

Apple has made key changes to notification summaries in response to criticism, including high-profile errors flagged by the BBC. The controversy stems from a BBC News app notification where Apple Intelligence falsely claimed that Luigi Mangione, the accused killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had shot himself.

In response, Apple has rolled out these key changes in iOS 18.3:

Notification summaries for News & Entertainment apps are temporarily disabled while Apple refines the feature.
Summaries now appear in italicized text for clearer distinction.
Users can disable summaries for specific apps directly from the Lock Screen or Notification Center.
A beta label now clarifies that summaries "may contain errors," as noted in the Settings app.

Apple Intelligence will be on by default

While the update focuses heavily on notification summaries, it also introduces a notable system-wide change: Apple Intelligence will now be enabled by default. For those hesitant about the feature, opting out is straightforward.

Head to Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri and toggle off Apple Intelligence.
