Now on by default, here’s how to turn off Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence on iPhone, Mac, and iPad.

Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system integrated into iOS 18. It merges the capabilities of generative models with insights from your personal context to provide intelligence that is both useful and pertinent. This system is engineered to comprehend and generate language and visuals; manage and summarize notifications, emails, and messages; and utilize personal data on your device to streamline and expedite daily activities, all while safeguarding your privacy.

Supported devices:

• Apple Intelligence is available in iOS 18.1 or later on all iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max; in iPadOS 18.1 or later on iPad models with M1 or later and iPad mini (A17 Pro); and in macOS 15.1 or later on Mac models with M1 or later.
