I want to disable AI on my cell phone

If you are a real user and not a robot respond to this post and I will tell you how to disable AI on your cellphone, I promise.

Remove ai from my phone

Yet another bot. Notice the pattern now?

Hello~ Agreed!!

You'd have to ask Intune that question. They aren't owned by Apple.

No.

I understand it is part of an upcoming update.

It is already there. Maybe not in the traditional sense – of computers doing human-level, symbolic reasoning (like researchers originally thought was the goal), but you see it in things like

• Siri's voice recognition
• The Photo app grouping together related photos, and music, on its own, to create Moments
• Map apps learning where you go frequently, and suggesting destinations for you in widget displays
• Optimized charging, where the phone learns your use patterns so as to delay charging until the last moment

Quite aside from whatever iOS and the iPhone are doing, a lot of companies like Google and social media outfits are mining whatever data they can collect about you. If you wonder why it seems like every store in the world requires a "loyalty card" to get discounts, and is trying to push you to use their app, it's because they also want to collect, and crunch, data about you.

Banks use AI, too – if you have a credit card from a major issuer, they probably have "AI" programs running on their computers that look for unusual patterns of activity and suspend cards accordingly.

Definitely more complete information than I had provided! I had restricted my observations to iPhones.

When I bought this phone, I was taught I must receive updates to keep the phone functioning properly.

If that's the case, then I'm pretty sure somebody lied to you, or at least made a sweeping generalization.

I still have my old Mac Plus in a case in the basement. The latest OS it supports is OS 7.5.5.

If I fired it up now it would still be able to do everything it did back in 1986, which means that it still "functions properly". I just can't watch Netflix on it. Or right-click on anything (which it never could do).

Likewise with my iPod touch (6th gen). It tops out at iOS 12.5.7, but it does everything it ever did. It still runs some apps that my iPhone SE 2 with iOS 17.6.1 cannot, such as the "Encyclopedia of Arda" app. Apple removed that from the App Store.

The battery life sucks though.

About the AI ... my iPhone SE 2nd gen is supposed to be able to update to iOS 18 when it's released. It's the earliest model that can.

It will NOT, however, support the AI features, which is fine by me. If I can keep the same or similar functionality of the current Siri, I might even update to 18. Otherwise, no.

Apple must follow laws. Thus laws like CCPA as well as GDPR. Thus, Apple will have a way to allow users to disable it. They will give us a way to turn it off. There are laws in place to protect us. Don’t stress it. It will be a simple toggle button in the settings area. No big deal people that want it will get it and people that don’t won’t be bothered with it. Yep thank god for CCPA

I feel the same way, I’m done with my writing constantly getting underlined. It’s distracting and unnecessary, I can find no setting to turn it off, I write in 3 different languages and I get frustrated trough the core.

Yes consumers “Can” out per CCPA and GDPR laws. Companies are per law required to allow consumers to opt out. If they don’t the government can and will simply proxy out non approved protocols at a supernet level with backbone internet routers and fine them heavily. That said Apple will allow us to opt out. I am tired of the replies on this. Please mark resolved. Yes there is privacy laws. Just like we can turn off Siri and disable GPS it will be no different. Can we please close this post thank you. There is no point to debate law, that is for elected officials to do, and guess what they already give us “the consumers” privacy laws to project from abuse. It will have a simple toggle button. This post just keeps going. It’s all fun and games until it’s all blocked on a Ciena system for not following law.

if this is so, pl tell how to turn it off! I have searched Apple Intelligence in settings to turn off the toggle as mentioned by someone else, but I don’t see it on my iPhone 15.

Apple Intelligence is OFF by default. You must explicitly turn it on if you want to use it.

if it can not be disabled, I’m keeping my 13 forever and I’m not allowing updates. This just made my any decision about replacing my PC and tablet much easier.

Not sure if you just don't know the truth or if you are spending too much time on TikTok and Facebook. Yes, it can be disabled, but feel free to do as you wish. You can either get factual information from Apple directly below, or stick with the source of the false information you have chosen to believe. Hope this helps.

To turn Apple Intelligence off, go to Settings , tap Apple Intelligence & Siri, then tap the button next to Apple Intelligence.

Get started with Apple Intelligence on iPhone - Apple Support (AM)

And Apple Intelligence is OFF by default, If you don’t want it don't turn it on. The user must intentionally turn AI on themselves. AI does not turn itself on by itself.

I simply don’t understand why some can’t seem to get that point after being told hundreds of times.

DON’T WANT IT? DON’T TURN IT ON.

Given the many replies with this info throughout this thread, maybe Apple Intelligence can help those skimming this thread with a summary of this thread?

Maybe HI (Human Intelligence) is called for in this thread.

I think that may be asking too much.........😤
