Apple Intelligence tries to help the user with solutions for daily events. A good example of this is prioritize notifications (priority reports). With this function, most important notifications are automatically displayed in a separate section as the first instead of chronologically.
Because Apple Intelligence has extensive language knowledge, you can show the information that is most important to you. Reports are summarized so that you can quickly see the most important information. This is useful, for example, with very active group discussions. In addition, the ‘Limit interruptions’ focus only shows the reports that you require immediate attention, such as a message that you should pick up your child earlier at the daycare.

Apple Intelligence contains priority reports
Priority reports in Apple Intelligence are reports that are automatically arranged and summarized, so that the most important reports appear at the top and users can immediately see what is urgent, such as urgent agreements or important group chat messages.
Enable priority reports
For the time being, MacOS has no possibility to set up priority reports.
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad
- Navigate to ‘Notifications’ (reports)
- Tap ‘prioritize notifications’ (priority reports)
- Enable the option of the same name
Once you have enabled the option, you can possibly deny apps access to this function. This means that applications that you switch off will not appear in the priority overview.
In previous versions of iOS and iPados, the user already had the option to use a report overview with similar functions. However, the priority overview is more tailored to the user and can also use the content of notifications to determine whether the notification is displayed.
Summarize notifications
Long or stacked reports can be summarized on the iPhone, iPad and Mac with Apple Intelligence. This way you can quickly see what you need to know. This is especially useful for group discussions or updates from a news app.

- Tap ‘Summaria Notifications’ (summarizes reports together)
- Enable the option of the same name
