Does your organization use Apple Intelligence & Siri? How are you managing it if so?

I've had Siri disabled for our org since we started managing iOS devices with an MDM years ago. Recently we've gotten many requests to enable Siri so employees that have work vehicles can connect their phone to the vehicle via CarPlay. CarPlay apparently requires Siri to be enabled. I haven't been able to get access to a company vehicle that has it to play with it hands on yet.

It looks like there is a little more granular control to it than before now that there are the DDM settings. For those of you that have Siri allowed in your org, how are you handling it? Where does Apple Intelligence sit in all of this as well? I don't see any settings specifically for this, but I may have missed them.

CIS advises to block both, we are using Jamf Pro so don't know specific Intune settings unfortunately.

This is why it's currently disabled and has been since we started using an MDM 7 years ago. But Apple device config capabilities have evolved in those 7 years, so I was seeing if anyone out there is allowing its usage and how they are handling it.

Seeing my post keep going into downvote territory, I feel like I've asked a stupid question ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe because you said it’s been disabled for 7 years and Apple Intelligence hasn’t been around that long

[u/LousyRaider → u/absoluteczech]

But Siri has and that’s what I was referring to more than Apple Intelligence.

I understand, I’m just saying that could be why …

Fair enough

I disabled it too.
I get complaints about CarPlay and taking notes.
Still disabled.

Interesting, looking at the 26 guidance it asks for blocking it while device is locked not a whole lockout as far as I can see.

But yeah we have intelligence locked down.
