If you’ve recently upgraded to Android Pie, you may have noticed that the AI suggestions feature has been introduced. While it can be helpful in predicting the next action or providing suggestions based on your usage patterns, some users may find it intrusive or unnecessary. If you’d like to turn off AI suggestions on your Android Pie device, here’s how you can do it.
1. Go to Settings
To begin, open the Settings app on your Android device. You can do this by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping the gear icon, or by finding the Settings app in your app drawer.
2. Select ‘Apps & notifications’
Once you’re in the Settings menu, scroll down and find the ‘Apps & notifications’ option. This is where you can manage the various apps and notifications settings on your device.
3. Tap on ‘See all __ apps’
Once you’re in the ‘Apps & notifications’ section, tap on the ‘See all __ apps’ option. This will bring up a list of all the apps installed on your device.
4. Find and select the AI suggestions app
Scroll through the list of apps until you find the AI suggestions app. It may be named something like ‘Smart Suggestions’ or ‘AI Recommendations.’ Once you find it, tap on the app to open its settings.
5. Disable the AI suggestions app
Within the AI suggestions app settings, you should see an option to disable or turn off the app. Tap on this option to deactivate the AI suggestions feature on your device.
6. Confirm the action
After disabling the AI suggestions app, you may be prompted to confirm the action. This is to ensure that you intentionally want to turn off the feature. Confirm the action, and the AI suggestions should now be turned off on your device.
Alternatively, if you’re unable to find the specific AI suggestions app in the ‘Apps & notifications’ settings, you can try disabling the app’s notifications instead. This will prevent the AI suggestions from appearing in your notifications or suggest actions to take.
By following these steps, you can easily turn off AI suggestions on your Android Pie device. Whether you find the feature intrusive or just prefer to have more control over your device, disabling AI suggestions is a simple process that can help customize your user experience. Keep in mind that the steps may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer and model of your device, so be sure to consult your device’s user manual or online resources for specific instructions.
