Notifications On IOS 18.1 Could Be A Featured Feature With Apple Intelligence

JAKARTA - Apple continues to introduce new innovations by launching smart features on iOS 18.1, and one of the most prominent is a summary of AI-based notifications. Known as "Notification Summaries," the feature leverages artificial intelligence to provide a more informative summary of notifications from major communications apps like Mail and Messages.

In a gradual launch of Apple Intelligence, the summary of notifications is one of the features that will come this fall, along with the release of iOS 18.1 which is expected to take place at the end of October.

This notification summary is designed to simplify daily notification management. This feature is very useful for users who often receive many notifications from various applications. With iOS 18.1, notifications received from important applications will be more informative, providing a brief summary of the message or email content, so users can decide quickly whether the message needs to be followed up immediately or can be temporarily ignored.

For example, when receiving an email, AI will present a summary of the contents of the email in the notification received. Likewise with longer messages; users will not see the full text, but a summary of the message content. This feature also works well when notifications come from group conversations, where users will see a summary of the conversation.

This feature is also integrated with new features of "Priority Notifications", which display notifications that are considered the most important in advance. In addition, this summary of notifications will also be available in the Mail application inbox, providing users with more complete and fast information.

Although this feature may sound simple, its impact on productivity and daily time management is very significant. iPhone and iPad users no longer need to open Mail or Messages apps unless something is really important. That way, the daily activity flow and the user's mindset are not too disturbed by less relevant notifications.

In the early stages, this summary of notifications is only available for Apple's Messages and Mail apps, but in the future, third-party apps like Slack will also support this feature. This feature is only available on devices that support Apple Intelligence, such as the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 models. In fact, Apple Watch users who are connected to compatible iPhones can also enjoy the benefits of this AI-based notification summary.

With the presence of this feature, Apple demonstrates its commitment to providing practical and useful AI for users, making iOS 18.1 more than just an update to the ordinary operating system.
