"AI can handle a lot well, including computational tasks, schedule coordination, and answering simple questions, but one area it tends to struggle with is message summarization. If you've tested out AI summaries in your Messages app, you've probably seen the AI attempt to summarize the text you just got, only to fall short in quickly, correctly, and concisely paraphrasing. I've seen this feature regularly miss the mark when a friend sends me several messages in a row that aren't all related."
""This beta feature will occasionally make mistakes that could misrepresent the meaning of the original notification," it reads. "Summarization may change the meaning of the original headlines. Verify information." Apple disabled AI notification summaries for news and entertainment apps in January, following the BBC's critiques that Apple's AI incorrectly paraphrased one of its articles , leading to inaccurate information dissemination."
AI handles computational tasks, schedule coordination, and simple questions well, but often struggles with message summarization. AI summaries in Messages can fail to concisely and correctly paraphrase multiple, unrelated messages. Apple restored AI notification summaries for news and entertainment apps in iOS 26 while adding disclaimers before enabling the feature. The disclaimer warns the beta feature may make mistakes and misrepresent original notifications, and advises verification. Apple previously disabled the summaries in January after BBC critiques that an incorrect paraphrase falsely said Luigi Mangione had shot himself following the alleged killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Journalist unions urged disabling the feature.
