Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 0:23In Messages settings, Nace turns off suggested actions, then disables message summaries.
  2. 1:44In Mail, he disables message preview summaries and personalized smart replies.
  3. 3:02He switches off scheduled, prioritized and summarized notifications, along with Siri Suggestions.
  4. 4:31Siri's Excluded Apps menu lets him select apps to keep out of search and suggestions.
  5. 5:31The final chapter shows the Siri Classic option and how to turn Siri off completely.

Trevor Nace's title says "TURN IT OFF", but his Siri tutorial offers more than an all-or-nothing switch. He works through the settings individually, from suggested calendar events in Messages to personalized replies in Mail, before showing a route back to the older assistant.

The upload drew roughly 33,000 views in its first 15 hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for a regular video. Its comment section is also much busier than usual.

Demonstrating on an iPhone running iOS 27, Nace points to words such as "summarize" and "smart" as signs of AI-powered features. He disables message summaries, email preview summaries and notification features, then opens Siri's Excluded Apps menu to demonstrate keeping selected apps out of search and suggestions. Banking apps are his example.

The final chapter addresses the title's broadest promise: Nace shows an option labeled "Siri Classic" for returning to the non-AI assistant, alongside the choice to turn Siri off completely.

Viewers are discussing where to draw their own line. Some say they have never enabled Siri; another describes keeping useful features while changing the rest. Several report that particular settings shown in the walkthrough are missing on their phones.

There is a lighter counterpart elsewhere on Nace's channel: "The Clock App Is WAY More Powerful Than You Know!" has passed a million views. That tutorial includes using Siri to delete accumulated alarms, a convenience to weigh alongside the switches in this one.
