Focus Genmoji Mail
Messages
Reduce interruptions Focus understands the content of your notifications and selectively surfaces only the ones that might need immediate attention, like a text about today’s daycare pickup or a last-minute invite to dinner tonight.
Intelligent Breakthrough & Silencing Your Mac will determine if a notification is important enough to break through with the Intelligent Breakthrough & Silencing option. It can be turned on for any Focus mode, so you don’t miss your food delivery when you’re in Do Not Disturb.
Genmoji Generate unique, emoji-style stickers right from the keyboard. In the sticker creator, just type what you want to create, like “dog on a surfboard”, and see your creation appear in seconds.
Priority messages Know what to prioritise as soon as you open Mail with priority messages at the top of your inbox that are based on what’s most urgent.
Preview summaries Know the key information before you even open the thread with brief summaries that appear in the email preview instead of the first few lines of that email.
Thread summaries When you open an email thread, click to see a detailed summary that helps you get the gist of a lengthy email or several emails in the same thread.
Smart Reply Based on the content of the email you received, Mail will show you smart options to quickly choose from that add detail to the reply, like answering specific questions you were asked.

notification summaries when using AirPods or CarPlay.
Notification summaries Multiple notifications from a single app are grouped in a stack with a glanceable summary on top that lets you know the most important information.

You can also search for an action that happened within a video, and Photos will take you to the correct segment.
