identical to regular push notifications. On Thursday, Apple deployed a beta software update to developers that disabled the AI feature for news and entertainment headlines, which it plans to later roll out to all users while it works to improve the AI feature. The company plans to re-enable the feature in a future update. As part of the update, the company said the Apple Intelligence summaries, which users must opt into, will more explicitly emphasize that the information has been produced by AI, signaling that it may sometimes produce inaccurate results.

may produce unexpected results. Separately, the betas add a new option that allows users to decide from the lock screen whether they want notifications from an app summarized. Lastly, the AI-generated alerts use italicized text to further distinguish them from their non-summarized counterparts. Last week, Apple told Engadget it was working on an update to notification summaries. "Apple Intelligence features are in beta and we are continuously making improvements with the help of user feedback," Apple said. "A software update in the coming weeks will further clarify when the text being displayed is summarization provided by Apple Intelligence. We encourage users to report a concern if they view an unexpected notification summary. Notification summaries are one of the features that arrived alongside the initial release of Apple Intelligence with iOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 . Shortly after rolling out to regular users, they quickly led to bad press for Apple. Notably, the BBC published multiple reports accusing the blurbs of spreading misinformation. One especially unflattering example saw a summary claim that Luigi Mangione, the alleged murderer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had shot himself.

new beta, Apple will make it clear that the notification summary feature is a beta and ???may contain errors.??? Additionally, 9to5Mac says Apple will let you disable notifications for specific apps from the lock screen or Notification Center in iOS 18.3 by ???swiping, tapping ???Options,??? then choosing the ???Turn Off Summaries.?????? The company will also use italicized text on the lock screen to make it easier to tell notification summaries and standard notifications apart. The Verge reached out to Apple with a request for more information about these changes but didn???t immediately hear back. Last month, the BBC called out Apple after the company???s notification summary feature wrongly summarized its coverage of the UnitedHealth shooter, suggesting the outlet reported that Luigi Mangione shot himself. Apple later said it would roll out an update to ???further clarify when the text being displayed is summarization provided by Apple Intelligence.???

Apple Intelligence features The iPad mini 7 is our pick for the best compact iPad in part because it's the only one. We gave it a score of 83 in our review. The device has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display which is, sadly, limited to a 60Hz refresh rate. The lack of a Face ID sensor and one of the M-series chips that are present in Apple's flagship iPads are our other major drawbacks with this one. But it's a solid tablet otherwise. The iPad mini 7 runs on the same chipset as the iPhone 15 Pro and Apple doubled the base storage from the previous generation. It weighs 0.65 pounds, so you may not have too much trouble holding it in one hand. The Touch ID sensor is encased in the power button, and there are stereo speakers and decent cameras (12MP on each side). Like pretty much all of Apple's other devices these days, the iPad mini 7 has a USB-C port rather than a Lightning one. Speaking of which, the tablet should run for up to 10 hours before you need to recharge it. And although there's no cellular connectivity here, the iPad mini 7 supports Wi-Fi 6E.

three-quarters of iPhone owners can???t see what all the fuss is about, according to a recent survey . It???s also worth bearing in mind that these AI add-ons take up 7GB of local storage (and counting) on every device you want to use them on. The good news is that Apple Intelligence is both opt-in and reasonably easy to disable, which isn???t something every company does with their AI tools (looking at you, Google and Microsoft). So if you find features like Writing Tools and mangled notification summaries superfluous to your needs, you can turn them off. Assuming you???ve already turned it on, here???s how to turn off specific features of Apple Intelligence. And if you really don???t like it, here???s how to turn it off completely.

many Reddit users are still commenting on the thread, saying they???re having similar issues. ???My morning alarm was displaying as going off while making no sound and no haptics for 40 minutes,??? said Slawek_Zupa . Another post says their alarm went off at 5PM when it was supposed to go off at 7AM. The reports in the thread today include people still using iOS 17 and others who have updated to iOS 18 with Apple Intelligence. Some say they???ve tried turning off Apple???s Attention Awareness Features , which can reduce the alarm volume when it goes off if the iPhone detects your face. However, it hasn???t solved the problem for many, and you lose out on features like seeing full notifications on your lock screen. We???ve asked Apple if they???re still looking into this problem, but we have not received a response yet. Personally, I???ve also noticed my iPhone sometimes doesn???t make sounds or vibrate in the morning, but it does drop down a lifeless notification as if it did. Luckily, I???ve got a Google Pixel 8 Pro as a backup that usually gets me going, and I???m trying the Nintendo Alarmo , too, but my wife has had enough of Zelda yelling at Link to wake up.

iOS version 18.1, which came out in October. These AI bells and whistles require users to physically opt in, and Apple has deemed the product in "beta" despite marketing it as the main reason to buy its latest device. "Hello, Apple Intelligence" is the message greeting visitors to Apple.com today. If you go into a store, it's what the sales representatives push most excitedly. But just like the Maps fiasco, Apple's AI isn't ready for the real world. Complaints and ridicule have been mounting. In December, a BBC notification was rewritten by Apple Intelligence to state falsely that Luigi Mangione, who has been charged in the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had turned a gun on himself. Last week, a summary crowned a darts champion before the match had started. Later the same evening, an alert falsely stated that Rafael Nadal had come out as gay. It's not just the BBC that's experiencing this issue. A New York Times headline was rewritten to suggest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been arrested. "Nikki Glaser killed at Golden Globes," read another false summary. The mistakes have prompted the nonprofit Reporters Without Borders to call for Apple to "act responsibly" and remove the feature.

according to the BBC, Apple???s summaries had incorrectly rewritten notifications from its app to name a PDC World Darts Championship winner before the event even started and falsely claiming that Rafael Nadal revealed himself as gay. ???These AI summarisations by Apple do not reflect ??? and in some cases completely contradict ??? the original BBC content,??? writes the outlet. The BBC reports that Apple said in a statement, ???A software update in the coming weeks will further clarify when the text being displayed is summarization provided by Apple Intelligence.??? Apple Intelligence has had its funny moments , but there have also been some shocking failures, like summarizing a text message saying ???that hike almost killed me??? as ???attempted suicide.??? Apple told the BBC that receiving summaries is optional. If you want to exercise that option, you can disable the feature or alter what apps use it by going to Settings Notifications Summarize Notifications.

wrote in a statement to Engadget. This includes optional notification summaries, which provide users who choose to opt in a way to briefly view information from apps and tap into the full details whenever they choose. These are identified by a summarization icon, and the original content is a quick tap away. Apple Intelligence features are in beta and we are continuously making improvements with the help of user feedback. A software update in the coming weeks will further clarify when the text being displayed is summarization provided by Apple Intelligence. We encourage users to report a concern if they view an unexpected notification summary. The BBC flagged several botched AI notification summaries in multiple reports over the last month accusing the AI blurbs of spreading misinformation. One falsely claimed that Luigi Mangione, the accused murderer of health insurance CEO Brian Thompson, had shot himself. Other erroneous summaries said that a darts player had won a world championship before playing in the final (maybe hes just that good!), and that tennis superstar Rafael Nadal had come out as gay. Notification summaries are one of the features from the first wave of Apple Intelligence that arrived in iOS (and iPadOS) 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 .
