Apple temporarily disables AI summaries for news apps in iOS 18.3

Apple has introduced changes to its Intelligence notification summaries feature in iOS 18.3 beta 3. According to reporting by Chance Miller, the update temporarily disables AI-generated summaries for news and entertainment applications. The modification follows complaints from media outlets including the BBC about the feature’s accuracy. Apple has implemented several changes to make the beta status more apparent, including italicized summary text and clearer user controls. Users can now disable summaries directly from the Lock Screen, and the Settings app explicitly warns about potential errors. The company plans to re-enable summaries for news apps in a future update after improving the system. The beta version is currently available to developers, with a public beta expected soon.
