How to delete Image playground from my iMac M3 and MacBook Air M1?

On 25 05-2025 auto-magical installed by Apple.

Siri language is not the same as system language

Because of my disability I can't use Siri.

Apple this is getting pathetic, please fix this.

And I hate the lack of control on my own computer, somebody had to say this.

That's right. On a Mac, Image Playground is an integral part of MacOS and it can't be removed. You may own your computer, but Apple owns MacOS. There are loads of things built into the OS you can't remove. If you don't want to use Image Playground, don't use it, like you likely don't use every single thing built into your Mac as it is.


Is your Siri language different from your system language because of Apple Intelligence?


Ultimately however, you aren't speaking with Apple here. This is a user to user only forum and no one from Apple will see or read your comments.

The icon is the only reason I don't want it on my machine. I'm an adult.
And, of course, it is illegal for adults to have fun. I get it.
Or be silly or frivolous. Guess I shouldn't mention the large, bright yellow stuffed octopus on the back of my sofa. It's there for no reason other than I like it.

It's honesty sad that some lose their inner kid. I'm glad I still have mine and you and Lawrence surely do as well! If only people who seem to have an issue with the look of the Image Playground icon knew they are actually being "childish?" I guess not everyone has a sense of humor?

I figure if I'm old enough to have bought a house, a car, a sofa, and some major appliances, I'm an adult. I don't need to prove anything else by getting too serious.
