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?

I wonder how many more people will say change to us because they don’t understand why people register their accounts in their real location.

want a reason?

government apps…

local services apps

even MacDonald and Burger King aos needed to be from your country account or you cannot install them.

people are not stupid. I have also an US account …

but when I log into it, I cannot get basic apps from my real location. And when you change back, all the cards on my Apple Pay disappeared…

and the Apple intelligence not working again.

btw… on my MacBook it is working… so region is not the real problem

it’s much more then that…
