As a follow-up to my earlier post on managing Apple Intelligence features on macOS Sequoia, Apple has added a couple of new management options for Apple Intelligence now that Apple Intelligence is able to communicate with external services like ChatGPT. For more details, please see below the jump.

As of macOS 15.2, management options are available for the following Apple Intelligence functionality:

• Genmoji
• Image Playground
• Writing Tools
• Summarizing emails
• Enabling Siri to connect to third party cloud-based intelligence services
• Managing non-anonymous login to third party cloud-based intelligence services

The relevant key values are below:

It’s important to note that while all of the settings listed above work on macOS Sequoia 15.2, not all work on earlier versions of macOS Sequoia. Here’s the compatibility list:

macOS 15.0 and later:

• allowGenmoji
• allowImagePlayground
• allowWritingTools

macOS 15.1 and later:

• allowMailSummary

macOS 15.2 and later:

• allowExternalIntelligenceIntegrations
• allowExternalIntelligenceIntegrationsSignIn

These settings can be managed by a configuration profile, where setting a boolean value of false will disable the Apple Intelligence feature in question. Please see below for example profiles. The example profiles are also available via the following links:

• Genmoji: https://github.com/rtrouton/profiles/tree/main/AppleIntelligenceDisableGenmoji
• Image Playground: https://github.com/rtrouton/profiles/tree/main/AppleIntelligenceDisableImagePlayground
• Writing Tools: https://github.com/rtrouton/profiles/tree/main/AppleIntelligenceDisableWritingTools
• Summarize emails: https://github.com/rtrouton/profiles/tree/main/AppleIntelligenceDisableMailSummary
• Block Siri from connecting to third party cloud-based intelligence services: https://github.com/rtrouton/profiles/tree/main/AppleIntelligenceDisableExternalIntelligenceIntegrations
• Disable non-anonymous login to third party cloud-based intelligence services: https://github.com/rtrouton/profiles/tree/main/AppleIntelligenceDisableExternalIntelligenceLogins

Note: If you’re planning to use the example profiles with Jamf Pro, the profiles will need to be signed before they can be uploaded to Jamf Pro. If you’re not familiar with how to sign profiles, the post linked below is a good guide to how that process works:
