Alongside new design changes, iOS 26 beta 4 also re-enables Apple Intelligence notification summaries for the News & Entertainment category of apps.
As you may remember, Apple disabled this feature in January after a handful of botched summaries went viral…
When you update to iOS 26 beta 4, you’ll see a new setup flow that allows you to choose to enable notification summaries for the “News & Entertainment” category of apps.
If you choose to enable summaries for News & Entertainment apps, you’ll see a warning in bright red text: “Summarization may change the meaning of original headlines. Verify information.” There is also an option to report concerns with notification summaries directly to Apple.
As a refresher, Apple disabled notification summaries for news and entertainment apps after complaints from news outlets such as the BBC. At the time, Apple said the feature would be re-enabled for those apps with a future software update as it worked to refine the experience.
iOS 26 is currently available to developers for beta testers. A public beta will be released this month. For more details on what’s new in iOS 26 beta 4, check out our full roundup.
