How to Customize Notification Summaries in iOS 18 [VIDEO]
Starting in iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, your app notifications can appear as summaries to help you catch up quickly on your iPhone or iPad.

You can easily turn off the new Notification Summaries feature for each app to show the individual notifications again at any time in Settings.
With its deep understanding of language, Apple Intelligence can help condense the information most important to you. Notifications are summarized so you can scan them for key details, such as when a group chat is particularly active. And the Reduce Interruptions Focus shows you only the notifications that might need immediate attention, like a text about an early pickup from daycare.
When you first turn on Apple Intelligence, you can choose which types of notifications you want to summarize. You can also customize these settings later.
- Go to Settings, then tap Notifications.
- Turn on Summarize Previews, then tap the notifications you want to summarize.
A new Apple support video details how it works on compatible devices with Apple Intelligence enabled. Check it out below.
