AI has altered all my photos colors and emojis since Halloween

If the screen colours appear to be distorted or unnatural, you need to check some key Accessibility settings that are intended to compensate for specific colour-vision issues:

Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size

Ensure that all settings enclosed within the red box above are switched OFF/Disabled.

I keep seeing AI in all my apps and as a Senior I am afraid of using it. I only was curious on Halloween about seeing what the small green ghost image contained. I didn’t download anything and my son who is a scientist checked my new Apple 13 to see what was embedded and could find no reason why my photos are not normal colors and all emojis are dark colors and hard to discern. I will have to call Apple Support directly for a solution. Thanks for replying! Enjoy your day. J

First of all, you don't have Apple Intelligence on your iPhone 13. You'd have to own an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 to have Apple Intelligence. I'm thinking you may have accidentally changed a setting in Accessibility.

Open the Settings App

Tap Accessibility

Tap Display & Text Size

Make sure the switches starting with Differentiate Without Color and all below are off

Why do you think AI has anything to do with it?

It is not self aware and can not act on its own. Yet.
