Apple is constantly improving its devices. The latest version of Apple software, iOS 18.4, introduces a new feature called Apple Intelligence-powered Priority Notifications. By emphasizing the most important ones, this software helps users better handle alerts. Using the iPhone will be much more enjoyable if one learns how to customize and configure iOS 18.4 features.
Let's dive into the core functionality of iOS 18.4 Priority Notifications, powered by Apple Intelligence.
Priority Notifications highlight important alerts on the Lock Screen with iOS 18.4. Apple’s intelligence is used to identify which notifications, such as urgent messages, time-sensitive reminders, and so on, are the most important. Because important notifications are displayed at the top of the notification stack. Thus, priority notifications are easy to find.
Enabling priority notifications is easy. Take the following steps:
Open the iPhone Settings app.
Swipe down, then tap Notifications.
Select Give Notifications Priority.
Scroll down to the Notifications section, then toggle the switch Prioritize Notifications.
When this feature is enabled, the iPhone notification settings will automatically organize notifications by importance.
To alter Priority Notifications as per liking:
A list of apps will appear after Prioritize Notification is enabled.
All apps are configured by default to enable priority notifications.
Look through the list and disable the toggle for apps that don’t need to be prioritized.
This allows the user to customize notifications and see only important alerts.
Increased Focus: With only relevant alerts, one is no longer distracted and can focus on what matters.
Time-Saving: Very little time is consumed to get important information.
Personalized Experience: Setting which apps are allowed to send priority notifications allows one's notification center to cater to one's needs.
A recent article found this to be a very significant improvement in handling daily communications.
