Apple Intelligence tries summarizing news again after botching BBC stories

Apple’s fourth iOS 26 developer beta has reintroduced Apple Intelligence-powered notification summaries for news and entertainment apps, MacRumors reports. The company temporarily switched off the feature earlier this year after botching some headlines and promised they would be available again in a future update.

After installing the new beta, your iPhone will show a splash screen where you can choose to have your notifications summarized. On that screen, you can select News & Entertainment as a category to be summarized, though as part of that category, Apple warns in red text that “Summarization may change the meaning of the original headlines. Verify information.” The splash screen also notes that notification summaries are a beta feature and that “summaries may contain errors.”

The new beta, which was released on Tuesday, also makes the Liquid Glass design elements a little more liquid, according to 9to5Mac. The company has been messing around with the translucency of Liquid Glass elements as part of its beta updates, and when I initially tried it with the first beta, I thought it was a wild change to my iPhone.

Apple is set to launch a public beta of iOS 26 sometime this month. Last week, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said it would arrive “around the 23rd” of July.
