How do I prevent Apple Intelligence installation during iPad reset?

Hello everyone,

I'm erasing all contents and setting my iPad Air 5 64GB before giving away. Is it possible to not having Apple Intelligence installed on the iPad as it takes up space.

I'm thinking of changing to region AI not supported during setup, would this work? 

Appreciate the hep!

With iOS or iPadOS 18.3, Apple intelligence will be enabled by default.

there is not a way to “leave out” the installation of Apple intelligence. You have only the choice to turn it off.


you can turn off Apple intelligence by doing:

open Settings

tap on Apple Intelligence & Siri

Toggle OFF the Apple Intelligence switch.
