Apple Intelligence Setup Stuck on “In Progress…” for 48+ Hours (After China Trip)

I have an iPhone 16 Pro purchased in Canada, running iOS 18.2.

Here’s the issue:

• I recently traveled to China and temporarily switched my Apple ID region to China.
• After returning, I switched my Apple ID region back to Canada.
• I’ve confirmed that:
• Device Language: English (Canada)
• Region: Canada
• Siri Language: English (Canada)
• iOS: 18.2 (latest)
• Everything else works fine.

The problem:

In Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri, it has been stuck on “In Progress…” for over 48 hours.

I’ve tried:

Restarting my iPhone

Signing out and back into iCloud

Double-checking all language/region settings

Nothing has worked so far.

Questions:

• Is this related to switching my Apple ID to China during the trip?
• Does this mean my account is blocked from enabling Apple Intelligence?
• Is there a way to refresh or force-complete the setup without calling support?

Any help or official guidance would be greatly appreciated!
