Changes to Notification Summaries in New iOS 18.3 Beta ⇥ 9to5mac.com

Chance Miller, 9to5Mac:

Apple released iOS 18.3 beta 3 to developers this afternoon. The update includes a handful of changes to the notification summaries feature of Apple Intelligence.

Miller rounds up the key changes which, sadly, do not include an Apple logo beside the summary. This caught my eye:

Additionally, notification summaries have been temporarily disabled entirely for the News & Entertainment category of apps. Notification summaries will be re-enabled for this category with a future software update as Apple continues to refine the experience.

This is the first time I can remember where Apple uses an app’s App Store category to change its system behaviour. The closest equivalent I can think of is background downloads in Newsstand publications.
