Changes to Apple Intelligence Notification Summaries

iOS 18.3 introduces several changes to the Apple Intelligence notification summary feature, primarily in response to feedback from many reports led by BBC. According to BBC, the Apple Intelligence notification summary feature was incorrectly summarizing headlines from the BBC News app. For example, Apple Intelligence falsely reported that Luigi Mangione, who was arrested for Brian Thompson's murder as CEO of United Healthcare, had committed suicide.

The following changes are being made to the Apple Intelligence notification summary feature in iOS 18.3:

• Users can now repeat the last mathematical operation by tapping the equal sign again.
• A fix has been implemented for the issue where the keyboard disappears when starting a Siri request.
• The problem of music playback continuing until the end of the track even after closing Apple Music has been resolved.
