Applebot-Extended
Like Google-Extended: a robots.txt token controlling whether Applebot's crawl may feed Apple's AI training. Disallowing it keeps you in Siri/Spotlight search.
| robots.txt token | Applebot-Extended |
| Respects robots.txt | Yes — robots.txt control token |
| Verification | Applies to Applebot crawling (Apple publishes IP ranges) |
| Our recommendation | Your call — Opting out of training does not cost Siri/Spotlight visibility. |
