The new version of iOS will enable advanced AI features like notification summaries and other innovations by default, but you can turn them off in Settings. With the release of iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS 15.3, Apple will introduce a major new feature: the automatic activation of artificial intelligence-based features , known as Apple Intelligence, for new users and for those upgrading to the new operating systems.
AI features enabled by default
Apple Intelligence will be available on compatible devices , including iPhone 15 Pro and later, iPad, and Macs with the Apple Silicon M1 chip or later. When setting up a new device or after an update, AI features will be enabled automatically, giving users tools like:
•Smart Notification Summaries – A quick way to get a summary of your most relevant notifications.
•Image Playground – An AI-powered image editing tool.
•Text Rewriting : A feature for editing texts creatively and quickly.
To turn off Apple Intelligence , you will need to go to the Apple Intelligence & Siri settings panel and disable the switch. Once disabled, no AI functions will be active on the device.
Compatible devices and feature management
The update comes with improvements to prevent errors in notification summaries. In the iOS 18.3 beta, some users reported inaccuracies in news summaries from apps like the BBC. As a result, Apple will introduce a label that will alert users to possible errors in summaries and make it easier to identify them on the Lock screen.
Automatic enablement will only be available for newer devices . Users with older hardware or who prefer to disable these features will have to do so manually. Apple emphasizes that these innovations are designed to improve the user experience, offering greater control and customization. iOS 18.3, along with iPadOS 18.3 and macOS 15.3, will be available in the coming weeks.
We remind you that Apple Intelligence is not yet active in Italy. And that it will arrive throughout Europe starting in April.https://youtu.be/UV3el7dujCQ?si=4qYn27oFI5v5XYB4
