Originally when Apple Intelligence launched there are some T&C for using and activate this Apple Intelligence. For activating Apple Intelligence at China first of all purchased iPhone must be non-Chinese iPhone means that the iPhone aren’t purchased in China not include Hong Kong and Macau. Also if use this Chinese Apple account are also unable to activate the Apple Intelligence. To activate the Apple Intelligence, I have travel to Hong Kong and purchase iPhone 16 pro Max. To reach the requirement of activating Apple Intelligence, I’ve decided to switch my region from China to United States. I’ve started to switch my account from October 19, CST 2:00am, Shanghai time 3:00pm. Till now CST time 8:30am October 24, Shanghai Time 9:30pm I still can’t join the Apple Intelligence waitlist. I’m also upgraded my phone to iOS 18.2. I’ve contacted the Apple support using my Chinese phone number and it transferred to me Philippines Apple support team. It seems like the Philippine Apple support team doesn’t help me get anything. The Philippine Apple support team keeps saying that the beta version iOS right now in my phone has some problem on it. But when I log out this Apple ID, and changed to another Apple ID that is UK ones. I can successfully enable the Apple Intelligence. What does this say?! This shows that my Apple account has a problem on it. It doesn’t switch successfully to United States server! And the Philippine Apple support team keep asking me to restore my iPhone like crazy! I’ve told them that I have used several Apple account that is from United States and United Kingdom that can successfully enable the Apple Intelligence. But the Philippine Apple support team said that my Apple account doesn’t have any problem! Apple please solve the problem! Anyone who have facing this kind of problem please share to us!!! Cheers!

I have been attempting to achieve the early access image creation (iPad iOS 18.2) and it has taken days, I still don’t have it and feel I never will. Someone heeelelllppppp!

I fell for the ”writing power“ of AI advertising and purchased an AirBook, Only to learn that power is related to Notes and Texts. PAGES needs writing power yesterday. When will that actual writing app get AI?

I live in Canada and I called apple support, they said the new Siri ai isn’t available in some parts of Canada. I’ve changed my region to united states and now it’s just a waiting game. If i now get it fast and quick I’ll let u guys know

I downloaded the RC beta version on my Macbook and joined the waitlist so far I haven't received any message or any kind of notifications that I'm in but I have a question kinda silly but just want confirmation. By joining the beta and AI on my MacBook, whenever the official version is released, am I gonna have AI on my iPhone since already joined AI through my MacBook in the beta version? Kinda curious about it.

Hello Apple community I would like to know why new Siri is currently inactive on my phone. I have a iPhone 17 base model and downloaded iOS 27 beta. I suspect that it is not functioning due to me being 13 and having parental controls on. That is my guess why New Siri is not downloading. The phone states that I have joined the waitlist though my stance on the situation is that there is more to this!

Playground long time 24h don’t early access request ed

Hello, I recently updated my iPhone 16 Pro Max to iOS 18.2 beta, and I noticed that I have the Playground app. However, it hasn't been approved yet, and it's been almost 24 hours. Is there a solution for this?

I'm not comfortable yet installing the iOS beta on my iPhone 15 - is it possible to play with Apple Intelligence in the simulator, or is it on-device only?

I’ve been on the waitlist for a day and a half, and it’s still not working. I’ve downloaded the beta on my iPhone 16 and iPad Air M1, and it would say “ Waitlist requested,” and then I reset both, and now it’s been stuck on ”download image playground forever and it’s still not working.

still no sign of the new siri no app no nothing im on the ios 27 beta 2 and iphone 15 pro max what is this apple

Recently about 7 days ago now I have tuned in to the waitlist for the new Beta Siri Ai, I am trying to make tests and review the software on the 16 pro and 17 pro both together to point out key differences and slight changes with the two, I have been waiting for the update. My phone has already finished indexing days ago but unfortunately still no update to the Siri Ai. Some have stated its a bug but theres different reasons on the web and knowing this is a (Beta) and not full on release it makes sense however I wanted to ask you guys personally on your thoughts as I’m still trying to test these out asap. Unfortunately I’m still on the waiting list..

Hey, has anyone figured out how the “Persons” list in Genmoji/Playground actually works? I’ve had a strange experience so far. When I first got access during Beta 2, the list randomly included about 10–15 people, even though my photo library contains many more recognizable faces. To try fixing this, I started naming faces in the Photos app, hoping they’d be added to the Genmoji/Playground list, but nothing changed. Then, after updating to Beta 3, it added just 2–3 of the people I had named. Encouraged, I spent about an hour naming all the faces in my library. But a few hours later, the list unexpectedly removed around 10 people, leaving me with fewer than I had initially. I’ve also read that leaving the phone locked and plugged into power should help sort people in the library, but that hasn’t worked for me yet. Anyone else experienced this or found a way to make it work? Thanks!

Hello, Could you please provide details for maximum string length of the prompt and the title when using ImageCreator and the method extracted(from:title:)? static func extracted( from text: String, title: String? = nil ) -> ImagePlaygroundConcept Any additional details or example of prompt and title would help. Additionally, are ImagePlaygroundStyle.animation, ImagePlaygroundStyle.illustration and ImagePlaygroundStyle.sketch all available when using extracted(from:title:)? I am trying to generate images programmatically and would appreciate your guidance. Thank you.

Good morning all has anyone encountered the issue of Siri returning back to her original user interface on IOS-26? I’m trying to figure out the cause. I’ve sent feedback via the feedback app. Just seeing if anyone else has the same issue.

I updated to iOS 18.2 beta 2, and with it, I am able to see behind the early access requested by just swiping down, but when I do swipe down, the app closes. Does this mean I'm close to getting access?

I am working on an app which would refine text the user wrote without user having to select the text and then interact with the options. For example, one use-case is where users talks into the microphone and dictates the text, which is refined immediately. Is this something where Apple-Inteligence, or Writing Tools can assist?

I just got my new iPhone 16 Pro and upgraded to the 18.2 developer beta 4. I've set both Siri and the device language to English (United States), but the Apple Intelligence feature still doesn’t appear in my settings.

As a user, when viewing a photo or image, I want to be able to tell Siri, “add this to ”, similar to example from the WWDC presentation where a photo is added to a note in the notes app. Is this... possible with app domains as they are documented? I see domains like open-file and open-photo, but I don't know if those are appropriate for this kind of functionality?

Hi! I recently updated to the latest 18.2 Beta version of iOS on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Could you please guide me on how to locate and utilize the Image Search feature powered by Apple Intelligence? Just a little detail: I went on YouTube and the instruction was to hold the camera action button on the iPhone 16 and image search appears. So far, I haven’t been able to replicate these results on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. This is a great capability and I’d really like to try it out. “Live long and prosper.” -Spock -Jordan
