Like most AI products it feels like they started with a solution first and went searching for the problems. Text messages being too long wasn't a real problem to begin with.

There are some good parts to Apple Intelligence though. I find the priority notifications feature works pretty well, and the photo cleanup tool works pretty well for small things like removing your finger from the corner of a photo, though it's not going to work on huge tasks like removing a whole person from a photo.

I use it for removing people who wander into the frame quite often. It probably wont work for someone close up, but its great for removing a tourist who spends ten minutes taking selfies in front of a monument.

I didn't realise this was a feature, very cool!

Except for that one friend. You know the one I mean.

Honestly I love the priority notifications and the notification summaries. The thing that drives me absolutely insane, is that the fact that when I view the notification through clicking on it from another space other than the "While in the reduce interruptions focus" it doesn't clear. Because of this, I always have infinite notifications.

I want to open WhatsApp and open the message and have it clear the notif. Or atleast click the notif from the normal notif center and have it clear there. It kills me

What do you love about the notification summaries? I'm hearing a lot of hate for them

I mean it happened quite a few times that phishing emails became the priority notification on my phone

Really those should have been filtered out by the spam filter. If it's made it all the way to your inbox it's not surprising it got marked as a priority since phishing emails are written to look urgent, something which if real would be a priority notification.

Do you know if apple is using their new tools to do mail filtering? It's an interesting choice if they are since it's a genuine problem with a mature (but always evolving) solution.
