\n\nSee how it says that you can change the privacy setting later in System Settings? Well, you still can’t do so from the Apple Intelligence & Siri<\/strong> pane. There are a button and a help link that seem to relate to privacy:<\/p>\n\n but they don’t let me control whether Apple stores my audio, nor explain where to do that.

The company is aggressively marketing Apple Intelligence, even though it is entirely unclear which parts of it are available, how it is integrated throughout the company’s operating systems, and which parts are dependent on off-site processing.
