Playground AI App Autoinstalled, Ignored Setting and Also Added to Home Screen

Ok not what rock you have been living under the past 20 years or so… but having a photo of a bunny (as in Playboy bunny) and calling it playground is about as suggestive of an adult website as you can get.

Not in my world.... Yes, definitely funny. But I don't spend a lot of time being concerned about adult websites. I've never landed on one by accident but if I did, I'd just leave and not hyperventilate.

This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Apple doesn't read here. If you want Apple to know your thoughts, you can use the Feedback page that was linked to above.

P.S. Neither of the people who responded to you are under 60.

Let's be realistic shall we? If you opened image playground and asked it to create an image of a Playboy Bunny, it would tell you it can't do so. So you're accusing a simple application, which is beyond harmless of something it wouldn't do in the first place. Would it make a cartoon image of a bunny? Sure. Bunny's are cute animals. But it would NOT be adult in nature, so your assertion this feature is suggestive of adult websites is about as far from reality as you could possibly get.

Again, you don't need to use Image Playground. On iPhone you can actually delete it. But please don't make it something it most definitely isn't. And by all means, share your thoughts with Apple using the link I provided if you want Apple to know what you think.

agree that user support forum isn’t best way to provide feedback to Apple. However, there isn’t an option to provide feedback iOS, which was my point. Feedback on devices (which I did) will most likely be ignored as it’s not a device issue. So, does anyone know where to submit feedback on iOS?

Please bring Ai playground on 10 gen ipad

No one here on this user to user ONLY forum can do that. And Apple isn't going to do that, because Playground is bundled in Apple Intelligence and a 10th Generation iPad is not capable of running Apple Intelligence.

My issue is this - at least give forewarning & make a separate point that apps are being installed with update. That way users will not be blindsided & react like many already have been doing. I never saw anything about this before update. Not even the hype before release.

But you were given forewarning. With EVERY iOS update on the update page, just below the update now button is a list of what the update contains, called Release Notes. Most people don't read them, so you clearly didn't either. But had you read them, you would have known what was in the update.

Yes, we can read what's coming with a new update. But most of it is couched in "isn't-this-great" language so you really have to pay attention. And, still, you do NOT GET A CHOICE. I guess this is the age of autocracy, so anything goes.

We have to pay attention?!? How terrible of Apple to inflict that on us. I

And, still, you do NOT GET A CHOICE. I guess this is the age of autocracy, so anything goes.

Yes, you have a choice: don't upgrade. You can take the product Apple offers or not. It's entirely up to you. If I buy a car from Honda, I can't get one without cupholders in the back seat because I'll never use them. I have to take the car with the cupholders in the back or take no car at all.

LOL. How sad you have to pay attention. If you don't want to pay attention, that's on you, NOT Apple.

And yes, when it comes to iOS, Apple owns it, not any of us. We merely have a license to use it and Apple has the right to make changes to iOS without consulting us. That's how operating systems work. Apple at least tells us what changes are included in an update, so no one should be surprised if something new is bundled in it.

Idris -- You can only get by for a little while without update because stuff quits working right. If you call Apple for help, they will not deal with you unless you update. Feels like a trap cuz we old people don't do tech well

I was NOT insulting you in any way. Sorry if you took it that way.

Nonsense. There are certainly people who don't "do tech well." Very often, it's because they've simply never learned (or have resisted learning). But age has nothing to do with it. Some of the most knowledgeable people in this community are not just "almost 80," they are well beyond it. And they are providing valuable advice to all of us. You do yourself and everyone else who is "old" a disservice by using that as reason not to learn.

I'm not eighty yet but I am old enough to collect Social Security.

Yep. In my 70s here and doing just fine with technology.
