Debuted with iOS 17.2, the Journal app on an iPhone lets you cherish the special moments of your life. The app helps you write about your daily thoughts, activities, and other experiences inspired by rich details from your day, including photos, places, people, activities, music, and more. Besides, the Journal app provides personalized suggestions on topics you can write out. However, not every user may find these suggestions helpful. If you also feel the same, you can choose to disable Journaling suggestions on an iPhone. Doing this is easy peasy and super quick. Let me show you!
Turn Off Journaling Suggestions
By default, the Journal app on your iPhone will show personalized suggestions based on your locations, photos, music, workouts, and podcasts. You can also choose the category from which you wish to receive suggestions. These suggestions serve as writing prompts. However, if you don’t find them useful, you can always disable them. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Here, scroll down and tap on Journal.
- Under New Category , turn on the toggle for “ Skip Journaling Suggestions “.
Going forward, you can easily create new entries without viewing any suggestions. When you tap to create a new journal entry, it will instantly take you to the writing screen.
How to Disable Journal Suggestions for a Specific Category
There can be instances when you wish to disable Journaling suggestions on iPhone for a specific category, rather than disabling all the suggestions. Fortunately, you can do this as well. Let me show you how:
- On your iPhone, launch the Settings app and tap on Privacy & Security.
- Here, tap on Journaling Suggestions.
- Now, you can choose to turn off/on a particular category. If you want, you can also tap on Turn Off All to disable all the categories.
And that’s it! You’ve disabled Journaling suggestions on your iPhone. Now, go ahead and turn off any Journal suggestions that aren’t important to your.

- Apple and Google have officially confirmed their team-up for the next-gen Siri AI.
- The Cupertino Giant will be using Google’s Gemini for a more personalized Siri model as well as Apple Intelligence features.
- We can expect the next-gen Siri to come out with iOS 26.4, sometime in March or April.
Apple has officially confirmed joining forces with Google to use its Gemini AI model to power the next-generation Siri. It will offer a more personalized experience and will be coming out with the iOS 26.4 update. Apple also plans to leverage Gemini’s capabilities for other Apple Intelligence features as well, later down the line.
The Next-Gen Siri will be powered by Google’s Gemini AI
Apple officially confirmed that it will be partnering with Google in a statement to CNBC . Here’s what it stated, “After careful evaluation, we determined that Google’s technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models, and we’re excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for our users.”
Later, Google also shared a post on X confirming the tie-up, “Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google’s Gemini models and cloud technology. These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year.”

Both statements clearly mention that the Cupertino Giant will be using Gemini to power its assistant Siri. This was already rumored, as Apple’s attempts to acquire Perplexity went nowhere. With Gemini, Siri will get a major AI update . It will be able to handle more nuanced conversations and provide better results. Something long-time Apple users have been asking for years.
The next-gen Siri will arrive with the iOS 26.4 update, which will launch sometime in March or April. And it is only going to be available for Apple Intelligence-supported devices .
Something else worth noting is how Google’s statement mentions that Gemini will power Apple Intelligence features. This leads us to believe that Apple could use Gemini’s multi-modal capabilities for its Writings tools , Image Playground , and Message summaries, too.
Elon Musk Not Happy With Apple and Google Tie Up
xAI CEO Elon Musk also responded to Google’s announcement post on X, sharing his thoughts on the matter by saying, “This seems like an unreasonable concentration of power for Google, given that they also have Android and Chrome.” Though we don’t expect either Apple or Google to respond to Elon, we will update the situation as it progresses.
It is worth noting that xAI is the company behind Grok, which is in hot water currently due to its inappropriate image generation fiasco , and has been getting backlash from multiple news outlets, X users, and even government authorities.
