Apple is testing Siri Recap and Live Rewind, features that summarize conversations or show a recent 15-second snippet on supported watches. Apple describes privacy safeguards and user controls; access requires compatible Apple devices, and availability has limits.

Siri Recap creates a title or short summary with key points, while Live Rewind can display text from the previous 15 seconds of conversation.
The features are being tested in beta for Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, and require a compatible iPhone with Apple Intelligence.
Apple says users can opt out and that the features do not retain raw audio; the reports also describe limits on saving or accessing generated snippets and summaries.
