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.
