How to turn off Apple Intelligence on Mac? I'm on a brand new M4 MacBook Air running the latest macOS Sequoia 15.5. I can't turn off Apple Intelligence. When I go to Apple Menu > System Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri, there is no switch to turn it off: I have tried restarting in Safe Boot Mode, but the problem persists. [Edited by Moderator]

Delay in Apple Intelligence setup on M1 iMac after Sequoia 15.1 update I updated my M1 iMac to Sequoia 15.1 24 hours ago. As soon as the update was installed and the iMac reset I went to Settings to set up Apple Intelligence. I followed the prompt to be on the waitlist. 24 hours later (and at two restarts) Settings>Apple Intelligence & Siri still says "Preparing" and "You'll be notified when Apple Intelligence is available for your Mac". On the other hand, my M1 MacBook Pro updated to 15.1 today and Intelligence was up and running in a few minutes. Has anyone experience this issue? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Is there a method of avoid installing Apple Intelligence in the first place in lieu of installing and disabling? A general question about Apple Intelligence. Is there a method of avoiding installing this feature in the first place in lieu of installing and disabling? An option at the time of OS upgrade where the consumer is given a choice to either install or skip installation of Apple AI? As benign at it may seem, I personally have no need for this application on any of my products. Nor would I have need for this application on any new product I might choose to purchase in the near future. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I fixed the problem. The voice and language were not the same. One was Canada and the other US.
