iOS 18.4 Adds Apple Intelligence Priority Notifications Feature

With the iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 betas, Apple is introducing a new Priority Notifications feature that can show you your most important notifications first.

Apple first announced Priority Notifications when showing off Apple Intelligence in June, but it wasn't implemented until now. Priority Notifications is disabled by default, but it can be turned on by going to Settings > Notifications > Prioritize Notifications and tapping the toggle.

With the feature enabled, ‌Apple Intelligence‌ will show notifications that may be important in a dedicated section of the Lock Screen.

Notifications became spam several years ago. Abused by apps pushing notifications nobody asked for. Most are off for me for that reason

Just getting some of the promised features 9 months after announcing them is pathetic and proof to how far Apple has fallen from the peak of their RD and Stable iOS selling points. It's all just MEH to me and smoke and mirrors and I won't use that stuff much. I plan to decrease my screen time to like an hour a day from 2-2.5 a day currently. Just getting sick of being on the phone and devices anymore.

❗️❗️❗ Anyone who is saying they updated and they don’t have it, you need to wait for the new Apple Intelligence features to download in the background OTA.

I dislike Apple Intelligence features sprinkled throughout the Settings app. Apple is probably aiming to make Apple Intelligence an integral part of the overall user experience. For now, these features should be duplicated or moved to Apple Intelligence settings section so that users can customize their exposure to AI.

Considering how well summaries and the email sorting features have gone, I expect another fiasco
