In short. Turn off ChatGPT, then turn off Setup Prompts in iPhone Settings to stop Siri from suggesting ChatGPT.
Definition: Apple calls the ChatGPT integration on iPhone the ChatGPT extension. To stop Siri from suggesting ChatGPT, Apple’s iPhone guide says to turn off ChatGPT first and then turn off Setup Prompts in Settings.
Key facts
- Apple’s iPhone guide says the documented sequence for stopping suggestions is to turn off ChatGPT and then turn off Setup Prompts.
- The extension switch is named Use ChatGPT in the iPhone guide’s documented Siri path.
- Confirm Requests is a separate control for allowing Siri to send requests automatically without asking first.
- Apple’s Siri and ChatGPT guide says that iPhone may ask for confirmation before sending a request to ChatGPT.
Which setting stops the suggestions?
Apple’s guide separates the extension switch from the suggestion control. The documented sequence is:
Settings > Siri > ChatGPT > turn off Use ChatGPT
Settings > Siri > ChatGPT > turn off Setup Prompts
The first switch turns off the ChatGPT extension. The second stops Siri from suggesting ChatGPT when a request could use it.
What changes when the extension is turned off?
On the documented Siri path, Apple instructs users to open Settings, tap Siri, tap ChatGPT, and turn off Use ChatGPT. This is the control that turns off the extension itself.
Apple also documents a Screen Time control that can block access to the ChatGPT extension. The guide says that an extension that is off can later be turned on again in Settings, and it describes ChatGPT as an extension that works with Apple Intelligence.
How does Confirm Requests differ?
Confirm Requests concerns consent before a request is sent. Apple states that the person controls when ChatGPT is used and is asked before information is shared, then documents an option to let Siri send requests automatically without asking. The settings path is:
Settings > Siri > Extensions > ChatGPT > turn off Confirm Requests
This setting changes the confirmation step. Apple’s separate Siri guide gives examples of asking ChatGPT to compose a haiku, suggest an activity, answer a question about a photo, or summarize a document, and notes that iPhone may ask for confirmation before sending the request. The guide’s tip points to Confirm Requests for that confirmation behavior.
