I decided to upgrade from 18.2 to 18.3 (since it updated anyway) and when I logged in, turned AI off, it’s funny you say that because, it was still downloading models……so I dunno about how truthful that is.
I forgot where I read that but it uses some local cache storage API. If it’s turned off the system can free the space if it needs to. Maybe it won’t notice immediately that it was turned off and will continue the download or something.
Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > Apple Intelligence [OFF]
I’m upset that 18.2 got pushed to my phone anyway. Oh well, I see that we have no control anymore.
Bullshit. You can turn off auto download/update in settings.
And it is. I had not updated since 18.0/1, the update before you had to turn AI off.
No bullshit. My watch has been nagging me, did not update against my will.
Gotta be upset about something! The media says so!
No, I specifically don’t want whatever it is they are passing off as AI. My phone is totally fine without it.
The comment you replied to has instructions on how to turn it off. If you turn it off, the data it uses is also deleted from your device.
