Lots of us find ourselves on the receiving end of lengthy emails or multi-message conversations.

That’s precisely what the summarize tool allows you to do in Mail.

The trick is knowing where to find that summarize button.

Let’s dive into how Apple Intelligence can summarize all your emails.

If you don’t see it,swipe downto reveal the button.

Select an email to summarize

When it appears,tap Summarize.

After that brief wait, your summary will appear, giving you the gist of the message.

In my experience, the summary lingers for a little bit, but won’t stick around permanently.

swipe down at the top of a message to make the summarize button appear and then tap it

So if you gotta refer to it later on, you may need to repeat the summarization process.

Fortunately, it’s quick and simple enough to do over.

And that’s all there is to getting a summary of a message in Mail.
