How Long Does AI Intelligence Take to Download? (Apple Guide)

Select Language:

If you have the new iPhone 17 Pro Max and notice that when you go into Settings to look at Apple Intelligence and Siri, it shows “Downloading” but never completes, don’t worry. Here’s a simple step-by-step way to fix this:

First, try restarting your iPhone. Sometimes, a quick restart can help resolve download or update issues.

– Press and hold the side button and either volume button until the power off slider appears.
– Slide to turn off the phone.
– After a few seconds, press and hold the side button again to turn it back on.

Next, make sure your phone is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. Large downloads or updates require a good internet connection, so check that your Wi-Fi is working properly.

If that doesn’t work, try resetting your network settings:

– Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone.
– Tap Reset, then select Reset Network Settings.
– Confirm by entering your passcode if prompted.

After the reset, reconnect to your Wi-Fi and check if the download finishes.

Another thing to try is to manually pause and resume the download:

– When you see “Downloading,” tap on it.
– Wait a few moments, then tap again to resume if it paused.

Finally, if the download still won’t complete, consider deleting the download and starting it over:

– Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
– Find the app or feature related to Apple Intelligence or Siri.
– Tap on it and choose Delete App or Delete Data.
– Then try to redownload or enable the feature again through settings.

If none of these steps work, it might be best to contact Apple Support. Sometimes, software updates or bugs can cause issues like this, and they can offer more guidance or fix it with an update.
