iOS summarizes notifications by using Live Activities, which provide a single, dynamically updating view on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. This approach reduces the number of individual notifications for ongoing activities, such as tracking a ride or a food delivery, by consolidating them into one continuously updated notification. This feature is designed to keep users informed without overwhelming them with multiple notifications.

For more details, you can refer to the session Design Live Activities for Apple Watch (00:01:54).
