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.

iOS 18.4's AI-driven Priority Notifications are a game-changer! It's so cool how it filters out the noise and highlights what's important. But sometimes it misses the mark, and I get annoyed when it prioritizes the wrong alerts. Still, a solid update! 👍

iOS 18.4のAI駆動の優先通知はゲームチェンジャーです！重要なものを強調してノイズをフィルタリングするのがかっこいいです。でも、時々外れてしまって、間違ったアラートを優先するとイライラします。それでも、良いアップデートですね！👍

iOS 18.4의 AI 기반 우선 알림은 게임 체인저입니다! 중요한 것을 강조하고 노이즈를 필터링하는 것이 정말 멋집니다. 하지만 가끔 틀리고, 잘못된 알림을 우선시하면 짜증이 납니다. 그래도 좋은 업데이트입니다! 👍

As notificações prioritárias impulsionadas por IA do iOS 18.4 são um divisor de águas! É tão legal como ele filtra o ruído e destaca o que é importante. Mas às vezes erra o alvo, e fico irritado quando prioriza os alertas errados. Ainda assim, uma atualização sólida! 👍

¡Las notificaciones prioritarias impulsadas por IA de iOS 18.4 son un cambio de juego! Es tan genial cómo filtra el ruido y resalta lo importante. Pero a veces falla, y me molesta cuando prioriza las alertas incorrectas. Aún así, una actualización sólida! 👍
