If you’re seeing a red number (like a “1”) on your settings icon and you’re new to using an iPhone, it usually means there’s a notification or a task that needs your attention during the setup process. In your case, it’s related to turning on Apple Intelligence, which you prefer to skip.
Here’s what you can do about it:
1. Open your Settings app.
2. Look for the section that’s prompting you about Apple Intelligence (sometimes under “Notifications” or specific setup steps).
3. If it’s asking to enable Apple Intelligence and you don’t want to, just ignore that step. You might be able to skip this part during setup by tapping “Not Now” or “Skip.”
4. After you’ve skipped that step, go back to Settings later if the red number still appears.
5. Sometimes, the red badge stays because your device hasn’t been updated or the setup process isn’t fully completed. Try restarting your phone:
– Hold the power button until the “slide to power off” slider appears.
– Power off your phone.
– Turn it back on and check if the red badge is gone.
6. If the red notification badge remains even after skipping the setup step and restarting, you can attempt to reset your notification badges:
– Go to Settings > Notifications.
– Tap “Reset Badge Count” (if available).
Usually, these notifications are just indicators of something that needs to be addressed or a prompt to complete setup. If you’re confident you don’t need that setting and have completed your setup, restarting your device often clears these badges. They don’t usually prevent you from using your phone normally.
So, no worries—you shouldn’t have to enable anything you don’t want just to get rid of that red number. Just skip the step, restart your phone, and check again. The badge should disappear once the system recognizes that you’ve addressed the setup prompts.
