iOS 18.3, according to official information published by Apple, will automatically enable Apple Intelligence during the iPhone activation process. This advanced feature gives users access to multiple intelligent functions, facilitating a more efficient and personalized use of the device. After setting up the device, users can explore and use the various functionalities offered by Apple Intelligence.

For those looking to disable Apple Intelligence starting with iOS 18.3, the process is simple. Users need to navigate to the Apple Intelligence panel and Siri Settings, where they can turn off the Apple Intelligence toggle. Disabling this toggle will turn off all Apple Intelligence features on the device, giving users complete control over which features are active.

In addition to new Apple Intelligence features, iOS 18.3 also comes with a series of essential fixes to optimize the performance and stability of the operating system:

  • An issue was identified where a custom Genmoji would not be generated unless the user first selected another person. This issue has been fixed, allowing custom Genmoji to be generated correctly.
  • Previously, HealthKit authorization granted by users for certain types of data was not persistent, resulting in apps being unable to access that data and requiring repeated authorization. This issue has been resolved, ensuring consistent app access to authorized HealthKit data.
  • For third-party apps adopting the iOS Writing Tools API, if the first response is not a UIView, the full inline experience could not be used. The iOS 18.3 update fixes this situation, allowing third-party apps to provide a full and smooth user experience.

iOS 18.3 represents a significant step forward in the evolution of Apple’s operating system, introducing advanced features like Apple Intelligence and addressing critical issues for users. The update is available now to all iPhone users, and Apple continues to focus on constantly improving the user experience through regular and innovative updates.

To take advantage of the new features and fixes, users are encouraged to download and install iOS 18.3 through their device settings. Discover what this update brings and optimize your iPhone experience with Apple's latest improvements.
