Summarize notifications and reduce interruptions with Apple Intelligence on iPad
With its deep understanding of language, Apple Intelligence* can help condense the information most important to you. Notifications are summarized so you can scan them for key details, such as when a group chat is particularly active. And the Reduce Interruptions Focus shows you only the notifications that might need immediate attention, like a text about an early pickup from daycare.
Note: Apple Intelligence is available in iPadOS 18.1 or later on iPad models with M1 or later and iPad mini (A17 Pro). To check whether Apple Intelligence is available for your device and language, see the Apple Support article Apple Intelligence requirements.
