If you’re wondering whether you need to turn off the “Learn from this App” setting for each app individually or if there’s a way to do it all at once, here’s what you need to know. I’m using an iPhone 17 with the latest software, so this applies to recent iOS versions.
First, I went to the Settings app on my iPhone. From there, I navigated to “Apple Intelligence & Siri.” I found the option to turn off “Apple Intelligence” completely. Doing this disables some cloud-based learning features, but it doesn’t automatically turn off “Learn from this App” for all your apps.
Next, if you scroll down in the same settings menu under “Apps,” you’ll see a list of all the apps you’ve installed. By default, many have the “Learn from this App” feature enabled, which allows Siri and Apple services to learn from your interactions to improve suggestions.
The good news is that there isn’t currently a single “turn off for all apps” toggle in iOS. Instead, you will need to go into each app’s specific settings or manage this through individual permissions. For privacy and control, it’s recommended to manually disable “Learn from this App” for each app you want to restrict.
Here’s a simple way to do it:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap on each app listed under “Apps.”
3. Look for the “Learn from this App” option and toggle it off where available.
While it might seem tedious, this approach gives you precise control over which apps can learn from your usage. Apple continuously updates iOS features, so keeping your device updated will ensure you have the latest privacy tools and options.
In summary, at this time, there is no global switch to disable “Learn from this App” across all your apps at once. You’ll need to review each app individually and turn off the feature where needed to protect your privacy.
