I Decided to Turn Off Apple Intelligence on My iPhone: Here's Why
1 min read
Summary
Apple’s Intelligence features are inconsistent and frustrating, according to the writer, who turned them off on their iPhone.
Among the issues found was the Summarize Notification feature that often left out important details, meaning the user still had to open and read the full communication.
The Smart Reply feature required refining the suggested responses, so it didn’t save the user any time.
The improved Siri featured in Apple Intelligence is only slightly better than the previous version, and the Smart Reply removes all personality from the responses.
Apple Intelligence features like Genmoji and Image Playground overheated the device.
To turn off Apple Intelligence, users can go to Settings, Apple Intelligence & Siri, and toggle the switch beside Apple Intelligence off.
Users can also disable Apple Intelligence features on a per-app basis.
