How to Turn Off Apple Intelligence on Your Devices
Apple Intelligence, exclusive to the latest Apple devices, has drawn mixed reactions since its release. While offering innovative AI-powered features, users have reported battery drain issues and inaccurate notification summaries. If you’re considering turning off Apple Intelligence, here’s a step-by-step guide.
Devices Supporting Apple Intelligence:
- iPhone: iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 series
- iPad: M1 iPad Air, M1 iPad Pro, iPad Mini (A17 Pro), or newer
- Mac: M1 Macs or newer
- OS Requirements: iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and Sequoia 15.1 or later
Steps to Turn Off Apple Intelligence:
- Open the Settings (or System Settings) app on your device.
- Navigate to the Apple Intelligence & Siri tab.
- Toggle off Apple Intelligence.
Disabling this feature will remove access to several AI tools, including:
- Writing Tools: Rewrite, proofread, and summarize text across apps like Mail and Notes.
- Image Playground: Create animations or sketches directly in Messages or a dedicated app.
- Clean Up Tool: Automatically remove background distractions in Photos.
- Visual Intelligence: Identify objects, add events from flyers, and more.
- Image Wand: Transform rough sketches into detailed images in the Notes app.
Why Disable Apple Intelligence?
Still in its infancy, Apple Intelligence lacks the sophistication of rivals like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which offers more reliable features, even in its free version. Many advanced Apple Intelligence capabilities are expected in future updates, making it easy to opt out without losing much.
For robust AI tools, alternatives like ChatGPT remain a better choice.
