This underrated iOS 26 feature gave me a productivity boost (and it works on older iPhones)


It's more reliable than the competition and saves me a lot of time.

While it blocked an hour of my time when the invite stated "7 pm onwards," I don't mind this minor error for casual outings like this. I couldn't include screenshots in this article of more sensitive material, such as embargo and meeting details, but the feature also gets those time slots correct. However, unlike its competitors, Apple's Add to Calendar feature doesn't hallucinate and consistently gets the day, time, and place correct.
