Go though the link below and make sure you meet every qualification, such as:

1. Your phone wasn't manufactured for the China Market (China/Hong Kong/Macau) (the model number ends in CH/A)
2. You're not in the EU
3. You've set the language and Siri language to a supported language
4. Here is the link --> How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support (CA)

If you don't want to use Apple Intelligence, simply open Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri and turn the switch off. That seems pretty simple, wouldn't you agree?

Yes, it is that simple.

You've given us nothing to go on to help you.

• What iPhone do you own?
• What iOS version is running on your phone?
• Where are you located in the world?
• Have you read this link to ensure you meet EVERY qualification to run Apple Intelligence --> How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support (CA)

I have the iPhone 15 pro max. We bought two other phones with mine but after updating our phones(18.3) mine is the only one that doesn’t have apple intelligence

• Have you set the language AND Siri language to one of the supported languages for AI?
• If you open Settings > General > About > Model, does it by chance end in CH/A, which would mean the phone was manufactured for the China market, and if it was, Apple Intelligence isn't available on a China Market iPhone regardless of where you live in the world.
• See this for all of the requirements --> How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support

You've provided no information about your phone for anyone to be able to offer much help. Go through this link and make sure you qualify to have Apple Intelligence on your iPhone --> How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support (CA)

Key Things:

1. You must own an iPhone 15 Pro/15 Pro Max or any iPhone 16.
2. You can't be in the European Union.
3. You can own an iPhone manufactured for the China Market (if it was, it doesn't matter where in the world you live).
4. You MUST have set your iPhone language and Siri language to a supported language if you do own an iPhone compatible with Apple Intelligence.

Without knowing which iPhone you own, where you are located and the exact model of your iPhone, it will be hard to help you.

2. Apple Intelligence is not currently available in the European Union
3. Any device manufactured for the China Market cannot use Apple Intelligence (if your model number ends in CH/A, it was manufactured for the China Market)

Same exact thing happened to me after ios 18.2 update. 15 pro max

Here are the hardware, language, and location requirements: How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support

Does your phone meet the requirements described in How to get Apple Intelligence for language and country?

Hi @rahyan192 you should be able to get Apple Intelligence if you are prepared to set your device to use English (United States). Read how to get Apple Intelligence. You can keep your region. Change the language in two settings at General/Language & Region and also Apple Intelligence & Siri.

Hello, Apple team I have updated my iPhone 16 pro max in iOS 18.3 but the problem is my visual intelligence Siri is not workin can you please solve this problem? Thank you.

I’m not sure who you are referencing with “Apple team” here, as this is a user-to-user forum. Most are not Apple staff. The folks that do work for Apple only rarely post around here.

Here is a description of the Visual Intelligence feature:

Use visual intelligence with Camera Control on iPhone - Apple Support

Here are the requirements for Apple Intelligence:

How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support

To determine if your settings and your device meet the requirements, you will want to review those. There can be various reasons why Apple Intelligence might not available, such as a device purchased in China mainland.

have a iPhone 14 Pro Max and I updated to iOS 18.1. I cannot find ANY apple AI features at all. No revamped Siri, no photo smart eraser, no text summaries, nothing. This seems like 18.0 exactly to me. It said it successfully installed 18.1... but I get nothing. Help???

AI features are not available on iPhone 14. AI is only available on iPhone 15 Pro and above.

Read the post just above yours, which clearly points out which models of iPhone can run Apple Intelligence. iPhone 14 Pro Max doesn't qualify.

Your iPhone 7 Plus cannot be updated past iOS 15 (currently 15.8.3), and neither the iPhone 7 Plus hardware nor iOS 15 are supported by Apple Intelligence.

For Apple Intelligence on iPhone, both iOS 18 (currently iOS 18.3.1), and an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model including iPhone 16e, are required.
