How to disable Apple Intelligence

[Pinback]

If you want to disable Apple Intelligence on MacOS and iOS devices, here's how:

Disable Apple Intelligence in MacOS

1. Click the Apple menu.


2. Select System Settings


3. Navigate to “Apple Intelligence & Siri” in the sidebar.


4. Flip the Apple Intelligence toggle to Off.


5. That’s it—until the next update.

The process is quick, but the catch lies in its impermanence. Each OS update...can quietly reactivate it. Users on X have grumbled about this, with one suggesting it’s worth bookmarking the steps as a post-update ritual.

1. Why would you buy Apple products?

Apple is a right wing company.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Is Donating $1 Million to Donald Trump’s Inauguration Fund.

2. Although disappointing, I'm not sure that's how we define right wing companies

And even if we do, what are the options? Google? Samsung is not exactly left of center? Once Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and Amazon blended their knees anyone who didn’t was making a honorable but potentially disastrous business decision. You might have a better idea than I do, so maybe we should compile a list of technological alternatives to those companies that caved to Trump?

3. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any tech companies that haven't caved to MAGA and billionaires.

We all just have to be as vigilant and proactive about our digital securitization we can.

6. Because they make great products.

I've been big on Apple since I first started working on a computer for work, ages ago. I love my iPhone and my Apple laptop.

4. My iPhone 14 doesn't seem to have Apple Intelligence. Am I an automatic winner and I don't have

to deal with this?

5. It's not enabled on my older iPhone either.

It’s supported on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max and apparently on all other iPhones ver. 16 and later.
