How do I turn Now Brief off if I don't want to use it? I've deselected all of the options but it's still appearing on my lock screen.

Settings -> Lock screen and AOD -> Now Bar, go down and you'll see where to shut it off.

Never mind. I figured it out. You have to go into the Now Bar settings to turn off Now Brief. Weirdly, you can't turn Now Brief off in the Now Brief settings. 🤔

Glad you figured it out! This is because now brief can't be disabled as a feature. It can only be disallowed from showing on the Now bar. You could still access the feature using the widget if you wanted to, even after removing from the now bar

Which is absolutely absurd since most ppl never asked for it in first place. These "upgrades" that are hidden even though more ppl want it deleted more than that U2 album everyone had to delete off iPhone like 5 years ago.

I don't really have a lot of use for it yet. So right now it's just annoying me being on my lock screen. I'm sure I'll use it in the future but most of the options I don't need right now.

What difference does it make? I don't want it either, end of story.

its not only annoying and cringy, with its "early bird!" comments knowing I wake up that early every day, but more importantly it completely blocks my music app. cant skip, pause, play, or even see what song is on on my homescreen anymore because some stupid ai "feature" is covering it completely.

Hopefully this helps for somebody down the road.
To turn Now Brief on or off:
1. Lockscreen & AoD settings
2. Now Bar
3. Now Brief on or off.
