Apple, iOS 18.3, iPados 18.3 and MacOS 15.3, together with artificial intelligence features, Apple Intelligence has made the default. These artificial intelligence tools come with a significant storage space, while providing features such as messages summarizing, image creation and advanced Siri interactions. Apple’s official documents say that Apple Intelligence occupies up to 7 GB of storage on devices.

For users who have limited storage or do not need AI features, there is the option to completely disable Apple Intelligence. When the Apple Intelligence is closed, the local artificial intelligence models are removed from the device and the occupied area is recovered.

How to disable Apple Intelligence?

To disable Apple Intelligence, users can go to the iPhone or iPad Settings or System Settings on Mac and close them from the “Apple Intelligence and Siri” section. Here you will be asked to close the Apple Intelligence, and then the system will remove sources related to artificial intelligence from the device. In this case, some artificial intelligence features such as writing tools, genmoji and Image Playground cannot be used. However, certain tools, such as the cleaning feature in the photos application, can still be accessed.

For those who do not want to close Apple Intelligence completely, Apple also offers the option to disable individual features through application settings. Users can use these settings on the storage and functionality of their devices.
