Apple Intelligence Gains Smarter Writing Tools in iOS 27

Apple today announced a series of Apple Intelligence improvements coming to Mail, Messages, Files, and system-wide text input as part of iOS 27 and its other major platform updates.

The updates include automatic proofreading, which surfaces spelling and grammar suggestions as users type across the system. Apple is also introducing intelligent file and folder naming suggestions based on content.

Two enhancements come specifically to Mail and Messages. Apple's composition assistant will now adapt to how a user typically communicates with different contacts, tailoring its suggestions to match individual conversational styles. Smart Reply, which proposes quick responses to incoming messages, has also been updated to draw on a user's personalized writing style rather than offering generic reply options.

Please tell me all of this can be turned off.
I second that. I’d been having nonstop keyboard issues on my 17 PM and as soon as I turned Apple Intelligence completely off (for other reasons) the problems disappeared. It’s trash and I haven’t missed it at all. I have a brain, and I can write without assistance.

I’ve made my living as a network-level news reporter, producer, writer and editor. I can write my own missives, thank you. And if I can’t turn off AI, then I am done with Apple.

Automatic proof reading can be useful. At the same time it will be good if there is an option to turn off specific Apple Intelligence features.

Not sure you can disable apple intelligence anymore. Unless they have really hidden the setting.

I hope not, no one needs stuff like this. Having AI write for you actually changes your onw writing style
While I agree about full AI rewrites, the proof reading tool is invaluable. You could’ve used it!
