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.
