Apple Watch’s AI features for rewinding and recapping conversations begin beta testing
Now in beta: Apple's new Audio Intelligence features can help you remember what someone said or take notes on conversations.
Apple's AI-powered "Audio Intelligence" technology for the Apple Watch is now in beta testing for developers, initially included in the iOS 27.3 update. The technology offers four opt-in features: sound recognition for deaf and hard-of-hearing users, song identification, conversation catch-up, and note-taking. The latter two features raise privacy concerns.
Live Rewind allows users to replay the last 15 seconds of a conversation for important details, while Siri Recaps provides high-level notes summarizing conversations. Both features exclude sensitive information and are designed to be deleted after a certain time. Apple emphasizes respect for privacy, using on-device processing and secure encryption.
