Apple Intelligence is finally available on iPhones, and it comes with a bevvy of new features, from writing tools that rewrite your text messages to notification summaries that intelligently summarise groups of notifications to help you catch up at a glance \u2013 in theory, anyway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In reality, the Apple Intelligence Notification Summaries are a little hit-and-miss, often missing the nuance of the messages it intends to summarise \u2013 so much so that users are wondering if there\u2019s a way to disable the tech. The good news? There is.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here, we show you exactly how you can disable the Apple Intelligence Notification Summaries if you\u2019re finding them too inaccurate or possibly a little annoying. If you\u2019re unsure whether your iPhone supports Apple Intelligence, we\u2019ve got you covered there too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      1. \n
        \n

        Step 1.<\/h3>\n

        Open the Settings app<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        The first step is to open the Settings app on your iPhone running iOS 18.1. This is the app icon with the cogwheel if you\u2019re unfamiliar.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n
        \n

        Step 2.<\/h3>\n

        Tap Notifications<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        From the main Settings app menu, scroll down to the Notifications section. Tap it to continue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      3. \n
        \n

        Step 3.<\/h3>\n

        Tap Summarize Previews<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        At the top of the Notification settings menu, you should see Summarize Previews. Tap that.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      4. \n
        \n

        Step 4.<\/h3>\n

        Toggle off Summarize Previews<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        To completely disable the Apple Intelligence Notification Summaries, simply toggle off Summarize Previews.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      5. \n
        \n

        Step 5.<\/h3>\n

        Optional: Turn off Summaries for specific apps<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        If you only want to disable Notification Summaries for specific apps, like Messages or WhatsApp, leave the main setting on and toggle off the apps you\u2019d like to disable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

        \n

        Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n
        \n
        I\u2019ve got an iPhone 16, so why can\u2019t I see notification summaries?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

        This could be because you\u2019ve not updated to iOS 18.1, but it\u2019s also worth noting that Apple Intelligence only supports US English for now. A wider rollout is expected soon, but you can access it in some regions now by changing your iPhone\u2019s region to the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
