Apple Intelligence Gains Smarter Writing Tools in iOS 27

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced a series of Apple Intelligence improvements coming to Mail, Messages, Files, and system-wide text input as part of iOS 27 and its other major platform updates.

The updates include automatic proofreading, which surfaces spelling and grammar suggestions as users type across the system. Apple is also introducing intelligent file and folder naming suggestions based on content.

Two enhancements come specifically to Mail and Messages. Apple's composition assistant will now adapt to how a user typically communicates with different contacts, tailoring its suggestions to match individual conversational styles. Smart Reply, which proposes quick responses to incoming messages, has also been updated to draw on a user's personalized writing style rather than offering generic reply options.

Please tell me all of this can be turned off.

At least these tools will remain available in the EU, right? Right??

I'm reminded of the Weird Al Yankovic song, "Stop forwarding that crap to me."

I hope not, no one needs stuff like this. Having AI write for you actually changes your onw writing style

Great, more em dashes everywhere.

I second that. I’d been having nonstop keyboard issues on my 17 PM and as soon as I turned Apple Intelligence completely off (for other reasons) the problems disappeared. It’s trash and I haven’t missed it at all. I have a brain, and I can write without assistance.

It doesnt look like Apple Intelligence can be turned off at all now. No option on install and its gone from settings.

I’ve made my living as a network-level news reporter, producer, writer and editor. I can write my own missives, thank you. And if I can’t turn off AI, then I am done with Apple.

I’m sure you can. You can disable Apple Intelligence and all these features will disappear.

All anyone really wants is for the swype keyboard to stop “autocorrecting” when autocorrect is disabled.
That, and stop coming up with stupid non-existent edits, like change “and” to “ands”.

Not sure you can disable apple intelligence anymore. Unless they have really hidden the setting.

About to install it to see what they cocked up.
I would say we need more actually capable Linux phones, but the major Linux distros are going equally stupid for AI.

If you can’t be bothered to write it, I can’t be bothered to read it.

Automatic proof reading can be useful. At the same time it will be good if there is an option to turn off specific Apple Intelligence features.

That’s so strange . I don’t have that . It’s just Siri on my 15PM!

Honestly, I have them on my iPad and barely use them. I’ve thought about disabling it but I was hoping that the iOS 27 ones would include some nice new features, such as elaborating better summaries or listing the different topics of a long text.

I guess there’s not much difference from the current iOS 26 tools, and if that’s the case, I’m not too interested. But, damn, it would be ugly to also lose this because of the strict EU regulations…

Of course it can be turned off.

But can people turn their pointless whining off? That’s the hard part. It gives everyone else eye ache and head ache.

I think that Siri and Apple Intelligence are now one thing? You can turn off Siri, you can't turn of Apple Intelligence exclusively.

 

[CarAnalogy]

One thing I have found it useful for is text transformation. Like for example to give it an unformatted list of serial numbers and have it remove dashes and put each number on its own line, things like that.

The commercials they made for it showing it enabling stupid people to be even more annoying were not a great example.

While I agree about full AI rewrites, the proof reading tool is invaluable. You could’ve used it!

The proofreading tool is great. Not a fan of full AI rewrites though.
