Apple recently rolled out a new feature called Apple Intelligence for the latest iPhone models. This AI can access and analyze data from various apps, including sensitive info like banking details and location history. Some experts think this could be a bit too invasive.

Imagine your iPhone knowing how you use your banking apps and tracking where you go. That's what this AI can do, according to privacy expert Chip Hallett. He advises turning off the feature, especially for apps that handle banking, health, and location data.

Apple says the AI doesn't store your personal data, it just uses it to give you a better experience. But the data is processed in their system called "Private Cloud Compute, " which makes some people worry about potential security risks.

Apple is so serious about security that they've even offered a $1 million bounty to anyone who can hack their system. Still, many users have concerns about how this AI might be using their private information.

So, how can you limit what Apple Intelligence can access? It's simple: go to your Settings, tap on Apple Intelligence & Siri, then choose which apps to restrict. You can turn off options like learning from an app, showing it on the home screen, or suggesting notifications.

Before diving into this new feature, it's important to think about whether the personalized assistance is worth the potential privacy risk.
