iOS 26 Public Beta 1 Brings AI Summaries Back to News Apps With a Warning

Apple has reintroduced the AI-powered news summary feature in the first public beta of iOS 26. The feature, which was temporarily disabled in January, allows users to access concise summaries of news articles within news apps. The resurrected feature comes with a warning, however. Apple has cautioned users that the AI-generated summaries may not accurately reflect the full content of the original article and could potentially contain biases or inaccuracies. Despite this caveat, the return of the news summary feature is likely to be welcomed by iOS users who value the convenience of quickly accessing the key points of news stories. The move also highlights Apple's continued investment in AI-driven features within its ecosystem. The public beta of iOS 26, which includes the news summary feature, is now available for download, allowing users to test and provide feedback on the functionality before the official release of the operating system.
