My phone language is in English (Australia) and so it’s Siri. Both are the same

There are two settings for language and the two must agree for Apple Intelligence will work on your iPhone. The message indicates that Apple Intelligence is expecting a version of English other than English (Australian).


One language setting is for Apple Intelligence: Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > Siri Requests > Language


The other is the language for the iPhone in general and can be found at Settings > General > Language and Region > Preferred Languages


Make a choice of the English version you want and set this for both.

Thank you for the screenshot.


Update your iPhone:

Not certain about an update fixing this on Apple's end, but see if you need to update your iPhone. By comparison, New emojis are a new feature, but are only usable after installing an update that contains them.


IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update

Was it not released last week?

You are indeed quite correct as to availability. I had missed that Australia had been included within the 18.2 release.


Perhaps trying with US or UK English remains something to try.

Apple Intelligence support for English (Australia) hasn't been released yet. Try setting the Language to either English (UK) or English (US):


  • Settings > General > Language & Region > [Preferred Languages] Add Language - select English (UK) or English (US)


  • Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > [Siri Requests] Language > select English (United Kingdom) or English (United States)


Making this settings change doesn't affect anything other than the display language (spelling and grammar).
