iOS 18.3 temporarily disables Apple Intelligence notification
summaries for select apps, more

Apple released iOS 18.3 beta 3 to developers this afternoon. The
update includes a handful of changes to the notification summaries
feature of Apple Intelligence.

Update 4:30 p.m. ET: A new public beta is also now available with
these changes.

The changes come after complaints from news outlets such as the BBC.
Two weeks ago, Apple promised that a future software update would
"further clarify when the text being displayed is summarization
provided by Apple Intelligence."

Here are the changes included in iOS 18.3 for Apple Intelligence
notification summaries:

  * When you enable notification summaries, iOS 18.3 will make it
    clearer that the feature - like all Apple Intelligence features -
    is a beta.
  * You can now disable notification summaries for an app directly
    from the Lock Screen or Notification Center by swiping, tapping
    "Options," then choosing the "Turn Off Summaries" option.
  * On the Lock Screen, notification summaries now use italicized
    text to better distinguish them from normal notifications.
  * In the Settings app, Apple now warns users that notification
    summaries "may contain errors."

Additionally, notification summaries have been temporarily disabled
entirely for the News & Entertainment category of apps. Notification
summaries will be re-enabled for this category with a future software
update as Apple continues to refine the experience.

iOS 18.3 was released to developer beta testers today. A new public
beta is expected to be released within the next week. There's no word
on when the update will be released to the general public.
