Why do I get error "Writing Tools is unavailable" when opening Apple Intelligence?

Hello once more~ The one at lower left takes you directly to Support only with no other choices.Take care.

Please double-check your settings and make sure you’ve finished downloading Apple Intelligence. Once that’s done, the function should start working.

Same here. iPhone 16 promax , iOS 18.1, Writing Tools was working fine a couple of days ago but now ceased functioning.

tried everything on here and no change.

I tried it on both Pages and Notes apps and the result is the same as below:

This worked and it works in US and UK.

Let's try to reset all settings.

Go to Settings  > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset.

Reset All Settings: All settings—including network settings, the keyboard dictionary, location settings, privacy settings, and Apple Pay cards—are removed or reset to their defaults. No data or media are deleted.

It's been working since the release now same error, it won't even proofread on every device - iPhone 16Pro, iMac-M1, etc. I've tried toggling and downloading a new - it just won't work. I bought this phone for this feature this is ridiculous.

Ok I have them sorted with oldest at the top but your previous reply still shows up on page 1 for some reason whereas this one shows up here(?)

I can't explain why. They did some maintenance on the forum last week. Perhaps something didn't code correctly?

To resolve the issue, I disabled Wi-Fi, connected my battery pack to the phone, disabled Apple Intelligence, rebooted the phone, and then reenabled Apple Intelligence, then disconnected battery pack. After that, the issue was resolved. I understand that the battery pack is an unexpected addition, but I read some forums that mention a weird power thing with this update. Thanks Cballer10.

I have tried everything that is described here, also read many articles on the web. reinstalled and restarted many times. Nothing is working. on the same network on my iPhone it works. but on macOS 15.4, it doesn't.

funny: only proofread works, all the rest doesn't.

I guess I will just forget about apple intelligence on Mac and go back to using Chatgpt app, which actually is reliable, which I can't say about MacOs

Me too!

Macbook Air 15

iphone 15 Pro max

Just for whoever on Apple will read this, whenever my Mac updates, it also goes into recovery mode, so I have no clue if this is related or not, but I am now also experiencing this issue.

On my MacBook Pro M3 Max Writing tools are not even showing up. All other features work but writing tools somehow not. Are you using a corporate Mac?

And me too when I turn on Apple Intelligence

iPhone 12
