I have a iPhone 15 Pro 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???

Do any of these things apply? If so, you won't see it.


  • Device made for China distribution
  • Siri language not set to US - English
  • Device region not set to US - English

After ios 18.2 update in 16 pro max
No features of AI are there why?
  • You may be in the EU where Apple Intelligence won't be available until April 2025.
  • Your 16 Pro Max may have been manufactured for the China (China/Macau/Hong Kong) markets. And if it was manufactured those markets, Apple Intelligence won't be available until or IF, it is ever approved there.

Why I not see apple intelligence in my phone

There are many reasons, but you just have not offered any information to let you know which one it may be:

  • Device manufactured for China distribution
  • Language on device not set to a supported language
  • Siri Language not set to supported language
  • iPhone model not supported
  • iOS Version not supported

it only currently works on phones that regions are set to United States

change your region by going to
settings-general-region/languages

change to United States and then you’ll see the option to join the waiting list 👍

It was my understanding you also had to be in the U.S. and have an Apple ID with a U.S. region. Are you seeing something different?
