Apple Watch may soon summarize your conversations for you

Apple is developing a feature for the Apple Watch that can summarize your conversations and let you rewind them, a kind of AI memory on your wrist.

That can be useful if you forget details from a meeting or a chat in the kitchen. But it requires the watch to listen in while the feature is activated.

Apple emphasizes that privacy is built into the solution. Still, it's worth asking yourself: do you talk just as freely if you know the watch (and maybe soon the phone) is listening in and taking notes?

There's nothing to act on right now. The feature hasn't launched yet, and your daily life is unchanged. When it reaches your device, it's worth checking whether the listening feature is turned on by default, or whether you have to activate it yourself.

What it means for you

You don't need to do anything right now, because the feature hasn't launched yet. If you often need to remember details from meetings or conversations, it could become handy for you. When the feature comes to your watch, you should check whether listening is turned on automatically or whether you have to activate it yourself. At the same time, consider whether you'll talk just as freely knowing the watch is listening in.
