User level: Level 1 (4 points)I updated my M4 iPad OS to iOS27 and found out that Apple Intelligence occupies around 16 Gb of memory. Since I don’t use any AI features or Siri. I want to completely remove it.

Unfortunately it cannot be completely removed, and turning it off wil not release the space it takes up. It is now completely built into macOS.
