We are here to help you change off Apple Intelligence from your devices , a process which should be the same for iPhones , iPads , and Macs — and it ’s relatively square .
Go toSettingson iOS , orSystem Settingson Mac , and then bug or flick onApple Intelligence .
On Mac , if it ’s switch on , bend it off by flick on the toggle switch . You may also want to flip off Siri here as well .
You will have to confirm you want to barricade using Apple Intelligence in a dialog that will open once you press the on/off switch .
