Apple's upcoming updates -- macOS Sequoia 15.3, iOS 18.3, and iPadOS 18.3 -- will enable Apple Intelligence by default on compatible devices, requiring users to manually disable it if undesired. From Apple's developer release notes: "For users new or upgrading to iOS 18.3, Apple Intelligence will be enabled automatically during iPhone onboarding. Users will have access to Apple Intelligence features after setting up their devices. To disable Apple Intelligence, users will need to navigate to the Apple Intelligence & Siri Settings pane and turn off the Apple Intelligence toggle. This will disable Apple Intelligence features on their device." MacRumors reports: With macOS Sequoia 15.1, macOS Sequoia 15.2, iOS 18.1, and iOS 18.2, Apple Intelligence was opt-in rather than opt-out, and users who wanted the feature needed to turn it on in the Settings app. Going forward, it will be enabled by default, and Mac, iPhone, and iPad users who do not want to use the feature will need to turn it off. The report notes that macOS Sequoia 15.3 introduces Genmoji, allowing Mac users to create custom emoji characters, and enhances Notification summaries with clearer indicators for AI-generated information. Public releases of this and other software updates are expected next week, following today's release candidate versions.
