iOS 26 Beta Brings AI Summaries Back to News Apps, but With a Warning

Apple has reintroduced the AI-powered news summary feature in the latest beta version of iOS 26, but with a warning. The feature, which was temporarily disabled in January, allows news apps to generate concise summaries of articles using artificial intelligence. The move comes after Apple faced criticism from some publishers who argued that the summaries could discourage users from reading the full articles, potentially impacting their revenue. In the new beta, Apple has included a warning that appears when users attempt to view the AI-generated summaries. The warning states that the summaries may not accurately reflect the full content of the article and encourages users to read the full text. The reintroduction of the feature, with the added warning, is seen as a compromise between Apple's desire to provide users with concise information and the concerns of publishers about the potential impact on their business model.
