How much information does Siri and Apple Intelligence get about apps? This question is once again bothering iPhone users: “Learn from this app” warnings about functions are currently spreading to social networks, forums and media reports. Apple infiltrated the switch to secretly access data from apps – including banking and health services – is rumored in posting. The instructions of where to close it in settings are usually followed.

“Learn from this app” is active for all iPhone apps
The cause of warnings is the so -called “App Access for Apple Intelligence and Siri, which Apple has actually enabled by default. Siri and/or Apple Intelligence is activated as soon as it is activated, “Learn from this app” in each installed app is turned on. Users must turn on the Siri once; Apple Intelligence is activated by default from iOS 18.3 and MACOS 15.3 without any additional action. Along with iOS 18.4, Apple will also be available in Intelligence EU.
This setting in iOS for a long time has once again causing a stir. Apple has done documentation of the function inadequately.
“Siri is allowed to learn from your use of ‘Comderect’ and suggest in other apps,” a brief interpretation of Apple’s function, for example in the settings of the Comdaret Banking App here. What it really means is not clear – the interpretations that can be found currently on social networks are accordingly wild.
Settings can be found in two different places in settings: under “Settings> Apple Intelligence and Siri> Apps” (old versions of the operating system called “Settings> Siri and Search”) and “Settings> Apps > (App- Name) “. If you want to close it and install a lot of apps, it will take longer. For each app, the switch must be pushed to the left side.
This function is not new: “Learn from this app” has been available in iOS for about 10 years. Apple marketed originally as “Siri Intelligence”. For example, these are suggestions for apps that the user opens at a certain time and location and which is then suggested, for example, in search, which also serves as the app launcher. The contacts presented in the sharing menu are also based on this, such as Siri’s appointment suggestions are also based on this. There will be such data According to Apple, it is collected locally on the device and stored in encrypted form.If Siri data is synchronized via iCloud, it should be protected by end-to-end encryption.
Data may end on Apple’s AI server
The reason for additional confusion is that Apple has now added Siri and Apple Intelligence to Settings, which means that the AI ​​model also has a clearly similar app access. What exactly will be done with it is currently unclear. In the future, Siri will be able to use Apple Intelligence to combine personal data and thus search in the iPhone for the name entry in the previous meeting. Third-party apps app apps are also able to make data and functions accessible to Apple AI through the interfaces. This means that the data of the apps may eventually end at Apple’s AI server (“Private Cloud Compute”), but the user does not see anything about it. The manufacturer promisesSuch data is only transferred and not stored to execute AI functions.
