Apple releases iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 with Apple Intelligence tweaks

Vlad, 28 January 2025

Today Apple has released iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 to the public. The new software version adds Visual Intelligence support for adding events to the Calendar app straight from posters or flyers and identifying more plants and animals.

The update also removes Apple Intelligence Notification summaries for news and entertainment apps, as those were sometimes misleading. This is a temporary measure, Apple says, and you can opt in to receive these again in the future if you want.

All summaries made by Apple Intelligence are now italicized, to better distinguish them from other notifications. Settings for Notification summaries can be managed from the Lock Screen, you just need to swipe and tap Options. This also lets you quickly disable notification summaries for a specific app.

Calculator repeats the last mathematical operation when you tap the equals sign again, an issue where the keyboard disappears when initiating a typed Siri request has been fixed, as has one where audio playback continues until the song ends even after you close Apple Music.

With this release, Apple Intelligence will be enabled automatically for new users as well as those upgrading to iOS 18.3. So now the AI features have become opt-out, rather than opt-in as they were before.
