Apple is pausing AI notification summaries for news and entertainment apps after facing backlash for generating inaccurate news alerts.

The change comes a few weeks after the BBC complained to Apple after one of its articles was misrepresented to state that Luigi Mangione , the man charged in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson , had shot himself.

Apple will re-enable the feature in a future update after refining them.
