Turn off AI reply suggestions in iMessage

Re: "Turn off AI reply suggestions in iMessage

Is there a way to turn off Apple Intelligence reply suggestions in iMessage on Mac?"

I don't see that mentioned specifically, yet there are ways to turn off AI features:

From the Mac User Guide:

See: Turn off and restrict access to Apple Intelligence features on Mac - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"Change how you see suggestions from your apps

See Customize apps Siri has access to."

Also says:

"Suggestions are on by default, but you can customize the apps Siri has access to at any time".

There is much more info. in that linked article above.

Re: "(It would be nice if Apple would include a toggle to shut off any and all AI features entirely but I doubt that will happen)"

If you use Screen Time: Seems we can also: Block access to Apple Intelligence features in Screen Time on Mac

Eg: says:

"You can turn on Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time to restrict access to certain Apple Intelligence* features like Writing Tools, image creation features and intelligence extensions on supported devices." (More info in linked article.)
