If you're curious about how Apple Intelligence is working on your iPhone, iOS 18.1 offers transparency through the new Apple Intelligence Report feature. Here's how to generate your own report.
Baked into iOS 18, Apple Intelligence can create language and images, take action across apps, and draw from personal context to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks, all through the use of on-device large language models. And with Private Cloud Compute, Apple can deliver AI based on privacy, with the ability to flex and scale computational capacity between on-device processing and larger, server-based models that run on dedicated Apple silicon servers.
When you make a request on your iPhone, Apple Intelligence analyzes whether it can be processed on the device. For more complex requests, it can draw on Private Cloud Compute. Only the data that is relevant to your request is processed on Apple's servers before it's removed. When requests are routed to Private Cloud Compute, your data is not stored or made accessible to Apple, and is only used to fulfill the request.
You can generate a report on your iPhone of requests your device has sent to Private Cloud Compute for the last 15 minutes or 7 days. The following steps show you how it's done.
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap Privacy & Security.
- Tap Apple Intelligence Report near the bottom of the menu.
- Choose a Report Duration: 15 minutes, 7 days, or Off.
- Tap Export Activity.
You can open and view the file using any text editor or reader app. For more information about Apple Intelligence, be sure to check out our dedicated guide.
