There can be reasons such as:


  1. You haven't set the language and Siri language to a supported language
  2. You are in the EU, where Apple Intelligence has not yet been released (coming in April)
  3. You are in China or your phone was manufactured for the China market (to know, open Settings > General > About > Model and if it ends in CH/A), your phone isn't eligible for Apple Intelligence, regardless of where you live, until it is approved in China
  4. See this link for more information about getting Apple Intelligence --> How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support (CA)
