Siri & Apple intelligence not showing after I updated my iPhone 15 Pro Max to iOS 18.1

Then why are people saying that it’s out when it’s not! This is probably one of the worst launches from Apple in a long time

I bought the new iPad Pro expecting great things from iOS 18 such a powerful device and can’t do anything

Here are Apple's published System Requirements for access to Apple Intelligence features. If not in the US, pay particular attention to the countries where Apple Intelligence is available - and the two key settings required to enable the feature:

Apple Intelligence requirements for iPhone, iPad, and Mac

• iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max; any iPad with A17 Pro or M1 and later; Mac with M1 or later
• iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, or macOS Sequoia 15.1
• Device language and Siri language set to a supported language
• 4 GB of storage1

Learn how to free up storage on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Supported languages: Apple Intelligence is available in English (US) in most regions around the world. In December, Apple Intelligence will add support for English (Australia), English (Canada), English (Ireland), English (New Zealand), English (South Africa), and English (UK). Over the course of the next year, Apple Intelligence will expand to more languages, like Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese, and others.

After you have turned on Apple Intelligence, it will continue to work when you travel to other regions around the world.

For European Union residents: Apple Intelligence is available with macOS Sequoia 15.1 on supported Mac models. For iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, Apple Intelligence will not currently work if you are in the EU and if your Apple Account Country/Region is also in the EU. If traveling outside of the EU, Apple Intelligence will work on your iPhone or iPad if your language and Siri language are set to a supported language.

For China residents: Apple Intelligence will not currently work for supported devices purchased in China mainland. For supported devices purchased outside of China mainland, Apple Intelligence will not currently work if you are in China mainland and if your Apple Account Country/Region is also in China mainland.

When Apple Intelligence is available in the EU or China mainland, previously purchased devices that support Apple Intelligence will be able to activate and use it in that region.

What do you see at Settings > General > Software Update? None of use can see what version you are running. To learn what you can now do, look here:

If you prefer to watch videos, then look here. The video shows examples on the iPhone, but the same is true for iPad:

Latest general release of iOS is 18.0.1

Apple intelligence isn’t not out yet.

At the time Johnathan Burger wrote that response, on October 7th, it wasn't out. However, a couple of hours ago, iPad iOS 18.1 was released.

Even without Apple Intelligence, the iPad Pro is capable of many, many things.

my phone also has such problem. 15 promax upgraded to iOS 18.1 and still I haven’t AI on my setting.
