How To Turn Off Apple Intelligence
Saturday, February 15, 2025
Apple Intelligence is still in its infancy, but not everyone wants to use it. Here's how to disconnect from Apple Intelligence on iOS and macOS. Most of the general Apple Intelligence settings can be found in the Settings app on iOS or in the System Settings app in macOS.
For either OS, go to the settings app on your device, then select Apple Intelligence & Siri on the left. From there, flip the main Apple Intelligence switch off.
There's also a separate switch named Siri which disconnects Apple Intelligence from Siri input.
Even if you leave the main Apple Intelligence switch on, there's still a separate switch to disconnect it from Siri if you don't want it used with that feature. If you've enabled the ChatGPT extension with Apple Intelligence there's also a separate pane for that.
There are also various other hidden Settings switches that enable Apple Intelligence in Apple apps (in Messages and Screen Time settings, for example).
