How to Remove Apple Intelligence from iPhone & Change Region

Select Language:

If you want to completely remove Siri and the Apple Intelligence feature from your iPhone, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you do that. This process can also include changing your region if needed, especially if you’re trying to switch to an area where these features are not available.

First, go to your iPhone’s Settings app. Scroll down and find “Siri & Search.” Tap on that. You will see options to turn off Siri. Switch off “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’” and “Press Side Button for Siri.” Confirm if prompted. This will deactivate Siri and Apple’s intelligent assistant from your device.

Next, you might want to change your region or country, especially if you’re moving or want to access content available in a different area. You can do this by going back to Settings, then tap your Apple ID at the top. Choose “Media & Purchases,” then tap “View Account.” You may need to log in. Scroll to “Country/Region” and select “Change Country or Region.” Follow the instructions to pick the region you want. Keep in mind, you’ll need a valid payment method for the new region.

Additionally, it’s a good idea to update the language and region settings on your iPhone. In Settings, go to “General,” then “Language & Region.” From there, you can choose your preferred language and region, which can help limit or remove the influence of Apple’s intelligence features tied to specific regional content.

If you want more detailed steps or need to troubleshoot, you can check out Apple’s support pages on changing your Apple ID country or region and adjusting language settings. This way, you can fully customize your device and remove features like Apple Intelligence if they are not useful for you.
