Apple released iOS 18.3, automatically opting newer device users into its Apple Intelligence AI features. However, many users may prefer to disable these optional features due to environmental concerns or dissatisfaction with existing AI capabilities. Instructions for switching off Apple Intelligence are straightforward across iPhones, iPads, and Macs by navigating to Settings or System Settings. Although Apple emphasizes privacy with its Private Cloud Computer infrastructure, users remain wary and may want to disable AI and Siri to ensure better privacy and usage control.
Not everyone wants generative AI features enabled by default on their devices. You may want to switch off the new AI features because you are concerned about the AI industry's impact on the environment.
On iOS, when you open the Settings app, scroll down to Apple Intelligence & Siri and tap on the toggle to turn it off.
Apple has designed its AI features to be privacy-minded, with a system and infrastructure that the company calls Private Cloud Computer.
You will have to confirm you want to stop using Apple Intelligence in a dialog that will open once you click on the toggle.
