How to Activate Apple Intelligence on iPhone 16 Pro

Select Language:

If you’ve changed your region and language but are having trouble activating Apple Intelligence on your device, you’re not alone. Here’s a simple guide to help you get it up and running, especially if you’re using iOS 18.7.

First, check if your device is fully updated. Sometimes, new features are only available after the latest updates, so go to Settings > General > Software Update. If there’s an update available, download and install it.

Next, try restarting your iPhone. A quick restart can resolve many glitches. Press and hold the side button along with either volume button until the slider appears. Slide to power off, wait a few seconds, then turn your device back on.

Since you’ve changed your region and language, ensure your device settings match the new region. Go to Settings > General > Language & Region. Verify that the region is set correctly. Sometimes, mismatched settings can prevent new features from appearing.

Regarding the missing Apple Intelligence or Siri button, if you only see Siri and not Apple Intelligence, it might be because the feature isn’t fully available in your region yet or requires specific settings. Double-check in Settings > Siri & Search. Make sure “Listen for ‘Hey Siri'” and “Press Side Button for Siri” are enabled.

If the features still aren’t visible, try resetting your settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This won’t delete your apps or data but will reset system settings like Wi-Fi passwords, wallpapers, and preferences.

After resetting, set up Siri again, ensuring your region and language are correctly selected. Sometimes, reconfiguring these settings helps activate the new features.

If none of these steps work, consider reaching out to Apple Support. They can provide detailed assistance tailored to your device and region.

By following these steps, you should be able to activate Apple Intelligence or Siri features properly. Remember, some features might be rolling out gradually, depending on your region and device compatibility.
