iOS 18.4 Introduces AI-Driven Priority Notifications
On Friday, Apple rolled out the first developer beta for iOS 18.4, introducing a fresh "Priority Notifications" feature, which is powered by Apple Intelligence. This new tool is designed to streamline how you handle your notifications, making sure the most critical alerts stand out while pushing the less urgent ones into the background.
You'll find these priority notifications neatly organized in a special section right on your iPhone's Lock Screen. Apple Intelligence takes the guesswork out by deciding which notifications deserve to be highlighted here, though you can always swipe up if you want to see everything else that's come in.
Up until now, your iPhone has been sorting notifications by time, showing you the newest ones first. But with Priority Notifications, you'll get to see the important stuff at the top—even if it's not the most recent alert.
According to the folks over at 9to5Mac, this feature is turned off by default. But if you're eager to give it a try, just dive into your Settings app, tap on "Notifications," and then find the "Prioritize Notifications" section. There, you can flip the switch to turn it on.
In other Apple news, they've announced that Apple Intelligence is making its way to the Vision Pro with visionOS 2.4. Developers can get their hands on the beta version now, and the rest of us can look forward to the public release in April. And if you're into cooking, get ready for Apple News+ Food, a new section coming soon where you can search for and save recipes from a bunch of News+ publishing partners.

This Priority Notifications feature in iOS 18.4 sounds like a game-changer! 🔔 I’m tired of drowning in pointless alerts, so having AI sort out what’s actually important is a huge win. Can’t wait to test this beta and see if it lives up to the hype!

iOS 18.4's AI-driven Priority Notifications are a game-changer! It filters out the noise and lets me see what's really important. My phone used to be a mess of notifications, but now it's so much calmer. Only thing is, sometimes it misses some alerts I care about. Still, a huge step forward! 👍

iOS 18.4의 AI 기반 우선순위 알림 정말 좋아요! 중요한 알림만 보여줘서 너무 편해졌어요. 다만, 가끔 신경 쓰는 알림을 놓치는 경우가 있어요. 그래도 큰 발전이에요! 👍

As notificações prioritárias movidas por IA do iOS 18.4 são uma mudança de jogo! É tão útil ver os alertas mais importantes imediatamente. Mas às vezes erra o alvo e eu acabo perdendo algumas notificações. Ainda assim, uma atualização sólida! 👍

¡Las notificaciones prioritarias impulsadas por IA de iOS 18.4 son una maravilla! Filtra el ruido y me muestra lo que realmente importa. Mi teléfono solía ser un desastre de notificaciones, pero ahora está mucho más tranquilo. Lo único es que a veces se pierde algunas alertas que me importan. ¡Aun así, un gran avance! 👍

Die KI-gesteuerten Prioritätsbenachrichtigungen von iOS 18.4 sind ein Spielchanger! Es ist so praktisch, die wichtigsten Alerts sofort zu sehen. Aber manchmal trifft es nicht den Punkt und ich verpasse einige Benachrichtigungen. Trotzdem, eine solide Aktualisierung! 👍
