    The apply_filters( 'auto_core_update_email', array $email, string $type, object $core_update, mixed $result ) filter allows developers to customize the content and recipients of the email notification that WordPress sends after a core update.

    Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a custom plugin.

    add_filter( 'auto_core_update_email', 'wpdocs_auto_core_update_email', 10, 4 );

function wpdocs_auto_core_update_email( $email, $type, $core_update, $result ) {
    // Customize the subject line
    $email['subject'] = sprintf( __( 'WordPress Core Update: %s' ), ucfirst( $type ) );

    // Add more information to the email body
    $email['body'] .= "\n\n---\n" . __( 'Additional Information:' ) . "\n";
    $email['body'] .= sprintf( __( 'Version: %s' ) . "\n", $core_update->version );
    $email['body'] .= sprintf( __( 'Update Type: %s' ) . "\n", $type );
    $email['body'] .= sprintf( __( 'Update Status: %s' ) . "\n", $result ? __( 'Success' ) : __( 'Failure' ) );

    // Return the modified email
    return $email;
