Disabling Visual Intelligence on iPhone 16
Apple's Visual Intelligence feature, accessible via the Camera Control button, has raised some concerns among users. While some embrace AI advancements, others prefer to disable this functionality. This article outlines two methods to control Visual Intelligence on your iPhone 16.
Method 1: Disable Apple Intelligence
The simplest approach is disabling Apple Intelligence entirely through Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri. However, this also disables other AI-driven features. For users seeking more granular control, Method 2 offers an alternative.
Method 2: Adjust Camera Control Settings
Visual Intelligence is directly linked to the Camera Control button. Access Settings > Accessibility > Camera Control to either disable the button completely or adjust the Light-Press Force sensitivity. This allows customization without fully disabling Apple Intelligence. Experiment with these settings to find your ideal balance.
