To turn off all Apple Intelligence features, open Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri on iPhone or iPad and switch off Apple Intelligence. On Mac, use System Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri. If you want to disable only Siri AI or selected summaries, use the separate controls available on newer software instead.

Apple’s menu labels and options vary by software version and by whether Apple Intelligence has been set up. Follow the label shown on your device.

Turn off all Apple Intelligence features

The master switch disables the Apple Intelligence suite. Apple says switching it off removes the downloaded on-device models; it does not say this erases unrelated user data or changes third-party AI apps. Apple’s iPhone guide and iPad guide document the mobile setting.

On iPhone or iPad

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap Apple Intelligence & Siri.
  3. Turn off the control next to Apple Intelligence.

On Mac

  1. Open System Settings.
  2. Click Apple Intelligence & Siri.
  3. Turn off the control next to Apple Intelligence.

Apple notes that Mac options can depend on the installed software version and whether the feature was previously set up. See Apple’s Mac guide.

Turn off Siri AI but keep Siri Classic

On Apple’s newer OS 27 instructions, Siri AI and the full Apple Intelligence suite have separate controls. If your device offers Siri Classic, you can turn Siri off and then turn it back on with the classic assistant selected. This keeps Siri available without the newer Siri AI experience; the choice may not appear on older software or every device.

On iPhone

  1. Open Settings > Siri.
  2. Scroll down, tap Turn Off Siri, and confirm.
  3. Turn Siri back on and choose Siri Classic.

On Mac

  1. Open System Settings > Siri.
  2. Click Turn Off Siri and confirm.
