If you’ve bought both an iPad and a phone at the same time and are experiencing issues with the Clean Up option not showing up on your iPad, here’s a simple solution to try.
First, it’s important to understand that the Clean Up feature relies on Apple Intelligence. This means your device needs to be using Apple’s smart processing system to activate this feature. Since your phone shows the Clean Up option but your iPad doesn’t, it’s possible that Apple Intelligence isn’t enabled on your iPad.
Here’s what you should do:
1. Make sure your iPad is running the latest version of iPadOS. You mentioned that you’ve already updated, so that’s good.
2. Confirm that Siri and Language & Region are correctly set. Since you’ve set your language to English and Siri is enabled, this part should be fine.
3. The key step is to enable Apple Intelligence. This feature is often turned on automatically, but sometimes you have to manually make sure it’s active.
4. To activate Apple Intelligence:
– Go to Settings on your iPad.
– Scroll down and tap on Privacy & Security.
– Tap on Analytics & Improvements.
– Ensure that “Improve Siri & Dictation” and “Share iPad Analytics” are turned on. These settings help Apple Intelligence work properly.
5. After enabling these options, restart your iPad. Sometimes a quick reboot is needed to activate new settings.
6. Once your iPad restarts, check if the Clean Up option appears when you try to clean up photos or data.
7. If it still doesn’t show up, visit the Apple Support page on using Apple Intelligence on your iPad for detailed guidance.
Remember, the Clean Up feature is only available when your device recognizes that it can use Apple Intelligence to assist you. By making sure the settings are correct and updating the background processes, you should start seeing the option appear.
If after all these steps the feature remains unavailable, reaching out to Apple Support can provide additional help tailored to your device.
