Select Language:

If you recently upgraded your iPhone 15 Pro Max to iOS 18.4 but are not seeing the expected Apple intelligence features or other enhancements, don’t worry! Here’s a straightforward guide to troubleshoot and ensure you get all the new features you were hoping for.

How to Troubleshoot Missing Features After an iOS Update

Check Your Update
First, ensure that your iPhone is indeed running the latest version. Go to Settings > General > Software Update. If you see "Your software is up to date," then you’re good to go. If not, tap "Download and Install" to get the latest version.
Restart Your Device
Sometimes, your device just needs a little nudge to start working correctly. Press and hold the side button and either volume button until you see the power off slider. Slide to power off your iPhone. After a few seconds, turn it back on.
Enable Features Manually
Some new features may need to be turned on manually. Go to Settings and look for any new settings related to Apple intelligence or other updates.
Check Compatibility
Double-check if all the features you are looking for are supported in your region. Some functionalities may not be available in all countries.
Reset Network Settings
If features that require internet connectivity aren’t working, try resetting your network settings. Head to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note that doing this will erase saved Wi-Fi passwords, so be prepared to re-enter them.
Contact Apple Support
If you’ve tried everything and features are still missing, it might be time to reach out to Apple Support. They can help you dig deeper into the issue and provide solutions tailored to your specific situation.
Consider a Factory Reset
As a last resort, if nothing else works, you may want to perform a factory reset. Make sure to back up your data, as this will erase everything on your device. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings. Follow the prompts to reset your phone.

Following these steps should help you activate the new features on your iPhone 15 Pro Max after the iOS 18.4 update. Stay patient, and soon you’ll be enjoying all the latest Apple goodies!
