If your iPhone 17 Pro Max has been stuck trying to download Apple Intelligence for three days, don’t worry — there are a few simple steps you can take to fix this issue. Often, these kinds of problems happen when a download gets stuck or the phone needs a little nudge to finish installing updates.
First, double-check your phone storage. If it shows that Apple Intelligence has been downloaded, that’s a good sign. It means the download has been completed on your device, but the installation process might be stuck.
Next, try restarting your phone. Turn it off completely, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on. This often clears up minor glitches.
If it’s still not working, go to your Settings, then General, and look for Software Update. See if there’s an update available — sometimes, waiting for Apple to release a new update can resolve these issues automatically.
Another trick is to delete the partially downloaded app or update, then try downloading again. To do this, press and hold the Apple Intelligence icon until a menu appears, then select ‘Delete App’ or ‘Remove Download’. After that, go back to Settings > General > Software Update, and tap to re-download or install the update.
If none of these steps work, you might want to connect your iPhone to a computer with iTunes or Finder (on Mac). Use this to manually check for updates and try installing the update from there.
Remember, patience can also help. Sometimes, these downloads just need a little extra time, especially if Apple’s servers are busy. But if you’ve tried all these steps and your phone is still stuck, reaching out to Apple Support is a good next move. They can guide you through additional troubleshooting or help with repairs if needed.
