Apple has temporarily disabled its AI-driven news and entertainment summary feature in the latest beta releases of iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3. This feature, part of Apple’s on-device “Apple Intelligence,” was designed to deliver concise push notifications summarizing breaking news and entertainment stories. However, major news outlets, including the BBC, raised concerns about the inaccuracies in these summaries, which often led to confusion and misinformation.
In light of these concerns, Apple has paused the feature to address the issues, assuring users that the system is being refined to improve its accuracy. The company plans to reintroduce the feature once necessary enhancements are made.
As part of its response, Apple has introduced a new feature that distinguishes AI-generated summaries by italicizing the text, making it easier for users to identify them. Additionally, users now have the option to disable AI summaries directly from their lock screens, giving them more control over the content they receive.
Despite the setback, Apple remains committed to developing Apple Intelligence further. The company acknowledges that the technology is still in the beta phase and may experience occasional inconsistencies. For users not on the beta track, AI-generated summaries will continue to be available, but those on beta versions will need to wait until improvements are implemented. Apple’s focus is on balancing innovation with ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the information users receive.
