Hi, Yalskey.

  1. Only iPhone 15 Pro and newer models support Apple Intelligence.
  2. You need to set your language and region to English and the United States.
  3. Apple Intelligence must be enabled, so ensure you have turned it on in the settings.

For more help, you can try contacting Apple Support or check this article; it has some tips about how to turn on Apple Intelligence.

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

If they are setup the same way then I recommend you get in touch with Apple Support using either the menu at the top of the page or the Apple Support app which you can install on your phone.

You are clearly able to copy and paste the title of the thread, but what you need to provide is the information from what was determined after reading the posts here. You should not be on iOS 18.1, so that is the first step, then elaborate more after reviewing the requirements. For many people Apple Intelligence is not on their phone and it is not supposed to be.

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:

Here are the requirements for Apple Intelligence:

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.
