Apple is expected to roll out iOS 18.3 soon as the release candidate has been made available. With the latest iOS update, Apple will introduce changes to how its Apple Intelligence features are activated for new and upgrading users. According to the company, Apple Intelligence will now be enabled by default during the iPhone onboarding process.
“Users will have access to Apple Intelligence features after setting up their devices. To disable Apple Intelligence, users will need to navigate to the Apple Intelligence & Siri Settings pane and turn off the Apple Intelligence toggle. This will disable Apple Intelligence features on their device,” Apple stated in the release notes.
However, for users concerned about privacy or who prefer not to use these features, Apple has provided a clear opt-out process. The settings to disable Apple Intelligence can be found under the “Apple Intelligence & Siri” section within the device settings. Turning off the toggle will deactivate the features entirely.
