iOS 18.2 Image Playground Missing on iPhone 16 Plus

I updated my iPhone 16 Plus to iOS 18.2 when it was released today. I went looking for Image Playground to get on the waiting list, but the app is not installed on my phone. I updated my 5th gen iPad Air at the same time and image playground installed as expected. Has anyone else experienced this?

Image playground is not working after installing ios 18.2. And chatgpt also not working or not showing the icons of that apps also on my phone iphone 15 pro. Worste update ever i seen with in apple 👎🏿

It's usually not the updates fault. Do you qualify for Apple Intelligence, meaning if your live in the EU or your phone was manufactured for the China Market, it won't have access to Apple Intelligence currently. Also have you set your language AND Siri language to one of the supported languages.


See this link and ensure you meet EVERY qualification for Apple Intelligence --> How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support (CA)

Same here. When I got the App Store and navigate to image playground, only option is “Open” but when I click on it, it just says “Apple Intelligence Required. Open the Image Playground App to join the Image Creation waitlist. Go to Settings.”


I have Apple Intelligence turned on, and when I open the Image Playground app to try to join the waitlist, it just gives me the same message, with no way to join the waitlist.


Ugh!
