How do I activate Apple Intelligence on my iPhone 16 Pro Max?

Good Morning , I have a new iPhone 16 pro max and wanted to activate apple intelligence. The software is up to date. Under settings , I only get "Siri" and not the "apple intelligence" option. Could anyone please assist.

Open Settings ➢ General ➢ Software Update and update to iOS 18.2 or later.


Next, you must establish your connection to a WiFi network 🛜, not simply a mobile hotspot.


If Apple Intelligence is stuck on your iPhone:

  1. Open Settings ➢ General ➢ iPhone Storage.
  2. Scroll to the bottom and tap ⚙️ iOS.
  3. Apple Intelligence should be fully downloaded if it reads: 2.56 GB.


Now, go directly to Settings ➢ Apple Intelligence & Siri and you should find the prompt or switch to toggle on Apple Intelligence.


Please provide any feedback if this has helped so we can learn from this.


Good Luck! 👋🏼😉

In the support article I provided above, it clearly outlines the requirements for Apple Intelligence, so please take a look if you qualify.

The user, ⇢ christosw75 ⇠ had indicated in the title that it is an "iPhone 16 Pro Max", which is qualified. ✅

True, but there are other requirements in the article, such as language and Siri language as well as exclusions for regions (like EU and China), which aren't known.
