Urgent warning to millions of iPhone users as Apple turns on 'dangerous' feature automatically

dailyrecord.co.uk:

iPhone users have been issued a warning about a "dangerous" feature that's been automatically enabled on some Apple devices after a recent software update.

The introduction of iOS 18.3 has seen artificial intelligence (AI) features on iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro/Max models activated by default, a change from when users had to turn these on themselves.Not only does the Apple Intelligence system gather information from apps and take action within them, but it also requires a significant amount of storage space to operate.

Tech gurus have highlighted that the AI system will occupy 7GB, no matter which device it's running on.Some experts have labelled the AI system as "dangerous," especially concerning its Notification Summaries feature.

This function uses AI to consolidate multiple notifications from the same app into a single, concise summary "to make them more succinct and easier to read," as per Apple's description.However, there have been instances where Notification Summaries has misinterpreted notifications, leading to misleading or completely incorrect news headlines.
