How to turn off Apple Intelligence on all your Apple devices

Apple's latest software updates (iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3) now include Apple Intelligence enabled by default. This suite of AI-powered tools enhances various apps, but users retain control and can disable it. Previous settings are preserved; disabling it before the update won't be overridden.

Apple Intelligence offers a range of features, including a ChatGPT integration for Siri, AI-assisted writing tools (tone adjustment, text expansion/contraction, summarization, proofreading), webpage summarization in Safari, email prioritization in Mail, Genmoji creation, object identification via the camera, image generation in Image Playground, and image editing enhancements in Photos.

However, users concerned about environmental impact or AI inaccuracies can selectively disable features. Compatibility requires specific hardware: M1 or later Macs/iPads, A17 Pro iPad mini, iPhone 15 Pro/Max, or iPhone 16 models.

Disabling Apple Intelligence:

To disable all Apple Intelligence features, navigate to Settings (iPhones/iPads) or System Settings (Macs) and select "Apple Intelligence & Siri." A toggle switch allows for complete deactivation.

For selective disabling:

• ChatGPT for Siri: Disable the ChatGPT extension within the same "Apple Intelligence & Siri" settings.
• Type to Siri: On iOS/iPadOS, disable this in "Talk & Type to Siri" (not configurable on macOS).
• Notification Summarization: Disable AI-powered notification summarization in Settings/System Settings > Notifications > Summarize Notifications.
• Mail Priority View: Switch to "List View" and disable "Show Priority" in Mail settings (iOS/iPadOS) or the View menu (macOS).
• Writing & Image Creation Tools: These are managed under Screen Time > Content & Privacy > Intelligence & Siri.

Note: Some features, like the Photos app's Clean Up tool and Focus mode's Intelligent Breakthrough, cannot be individually disabled unless Apple Intelligence is entirely deactivated.
