iOS 27 removes the master toggle to disable Apple Intelligence entirely
nunez · hn · 2026-09-15
- A Hacker News poster found that iOS 27 removed the single toggle from iOS 26 that let users disable all Apple Intelligence features at once.
- Each AI feature (writing tools, notification summaries, etc.) must now be turned off individually, with no system-wide off switch.
- A workaround via Screen Time Content Restrictions exists, but one Redditor reports it inexplicably breaks CarPlay.
- The poster reads this as Apple shifting AI from opt-in to always-on by default, which he finds disappointing.
