iOS 18.4 Brings AI-Powered Review Summaries and Pause Feature for App Downloads

iOS 18.4 App Store Updates

Apple Intelligence-generated Review Summaries

iOS 18.4 introduces a new feature that leverages AI to generate summaries of user reviews for apps and games in the App Store. The 'Review Summary' provides a concise paragraph that synthesizes feedback from users, offering a quick overview of how well the app is received. This feature can save users time by giving them a clear sense of an app's performance without having to read through numerous individual reviews.

Pausing App Downloads and Updates

Another handy addition in iOS 18.4 is the ability to pause app downloads and updates. Previously, stopping a download would require it to restart from the beginning. Now, users can temporarily halt a download and resume it later without losing any progress. This is particularly useful during times of poor connectivity or network congestion.

These two features enhance the user experience on the App Store, making it more convenient to browse reviews and manage app downloads.
