Muse’s Mystery: Meta’s AI Assistant Claims to See Notifications—but Doesn’t Know How

Meta's Muse is an effective AI assistant that feels creepy, in part because its Mac app can access Messages, Calendar, and Notes. A Threads post shows Muse claiming it only sees notification previews, not message history, prompting scrutiny of how the feature actually works. Meta’s David Singleton explains permissions are opt‑in and data are read only after user consent, but Muse’s explanations can be incorrect—highlighting how AI that seems capable can remain opaque about its internals.

Windows 11 finally lets you fully opt out of OneDrive reminders

Windows 11 now offers a full-screen OneDrive opt-out option for backup reminders, eliminating the long-running “Remind in 3 days” prompts. After choosing “Opt out of backup,” users can select “Skip for now” or “Backup now.” While Microsoft still encourages using OneDrive, the OS isn’t dependent on it, and this change reduces notification annoyances as Windows 11 24H2 progresses.

Chrome slashes Android notification abuse with multi-layer defense, saving billions daily

Google says Chrome’s anti-abuse measures reduced unwanted Android notifications by more than 7 billion per day in Q1 2026, using a layered “Swiss cheese” defense that automatically revokes permissions from inactive or suspicious sites, throttles excessive prompts, and reshapes notification prompts to be less disruptive, while giving users ongoing control via Safety Hub and Android’s settings.

Tuning Apple Watch sleep-score alerts for clearer mornings

Tuning Apple Watch sleep-score alerts for clearer mornings

Apple’s watchOS 26 sleep score rates sleep quality using duration, bedtime consistency, and interruptions. The piece suggests making sleep-score data more actionable by turning off notifications for high/very high scores and enabling alerts only for OK, Low, or Very Low scores, so you get a morning prompt when sleep quality is worse (and can reflect on causes). It also explains how to enable these granular alerts on iPhone (Watch app > Sleep Score Notifications) or directly on the Apple Watch, and notes the score’s basic calculation and device requirements.

Windows 11's New Outlook Still Delays Emails Triggered by Notifications

Windows 11's New Outlook Still Delays Emails Triggered by Notifications

Microsoft’s newer Outlook for Windows, built on WebView2, still takes about 10 seconds to show the email after a notification—far slower than the instant open of Outlook Classic. The new app uses multiple WebView2 processes and consumes more RAM (roughly 490–636 MB idle) and CPU (~4% idle) than Classic (117–148 MB idle, <1% CPU), reflecting its web-based architecture. Updates in 2026 improved other areas, but the notification path remains a bottleneck, suggesting a WinUI/native fix in the future; Classic remains available and faster for notification-driven access until it ends support in 2029.

iOS 27 Moves Notifications to the Left, with a New Siri Search Interface

Bloomberg reports iOS 27 will slide notifications in from the left instead of the top, and opening Notification Center will require swiping down in the top-left corner. Swiping over the Dynamic Island brings up a new 'Search or Ask' interface tied to a revamped Siri, with the change possibly limited to iPhone 15 Pro and newer if the feature depends on Apple Intelligence. Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27 at WWDC 2026, with the first developer beta on day one, a public beta in July, and a September-wide release.
