Some capabilities, such as automatically transcribing voice notes and recordings, creating custom emojis, and proofreading, are handy. Others not so much. Apple came under fire for inaccurate notification summaries, particularly those from news apps, and it has temporarily disabled the feature for news and entertainment apps in iOS 18.3.
