Make sure it’s turned off in System Settings➡️ Apple Intelligence & Siri ➡️ ChatGPT.


If it has already been setup, then click the switch to turn it off.


If it has not been set up, then it will just have a Set up button instead.


Also unless you actively invoke it when suggested, ChatGPT is not used.

you can turn chatGPT off and disconnect it from the Apple Intelligence by going into your screen time settings and content & privacy restrictions. there is also a tutorial for it on the apple support itself that described it in detail.


turn c&p on -> Apple Intelligence & Siri -> turn off "intelligence extensions"


now it should say that chatgpt is not supported if you check it in the settings. good luck
