Apple intelligence not available on Mac Studio after update to Mac OS 15.1

after downloading 15.1 , my siri is still single siri and not with the apple intelligence plus siri

I have MacBook Pro M1 16" and updated to 15.1 for about 2 days. I can only see Siri (No Apple Intelligence). I changed the Region and Siri language to US English and restarted. Didn't help.

Hi I was facing the same issue. Upgraded my MacBookPro 16" 2021 M1 Pro. Here below is what I did which enabled Apple Intelligence on my MacBookPro Successfully.

Apple Menu > System Settings > General > Language & Region

Under the Preferred Languages, Ensure you have added : English ( US ) as Primary.

If not click on the + and add English ( US ) and make it to the top of the list as Primary.

And then click on Apple Intelligence in the System Settings Side bar.

on the right hand side of the System Settings You will see a button Join the Apple Intelligence waitlist. Click on it and confirm to join.

It will start preparing and then in the next few minutes ( it took about 15 minutes for me to) you will see a switch next to Apple Intelligence. Turn it on.

I hope this helps

Same here. On Mac OS 15.2 since 27 October - Mac mini M2 - Region Set to US, Siri language set to English US. I am in Australia.

Set language and region back to Australia, restarted, set back to US, restarted, waited a few days, but Siri is still just Siri.

Wondering if I am missing something here? or is my location (Australia) currently not supported even though I set the region to US.

I have a problem with my face ID

Your Face ID is likely broken, and (if so) you will have to get your iPhone repaired.

You can try the following sequence:

If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support

If (when?) that sequence fails to resolve the Face ID problem, contact Apple Support:

Here is how to contact: Official Apple Support

Is your region also set to United States? The Siri entry in Settings should change to Apple Intelligence & Siri, and from there you can enable Apple Intelligence. I did notice that a text search in Settings for Apple Intelligence doesn't do anything useful.

I encountered a similar issue. I believe I accessed Siri’s settings or another relevant option, enabling me to request an invitation. Subsequently, it appears that the request was partially successful, as it indicates that Apple Intelligence is enabled. However, I am only receiving email summaries for a select number of emails, not all of them which is highly unusual.

You need to change Region to US for the Apple account too. Then go to App Store and re-download MacOS with Apple Intelligence. I noticed that MacOS Sequoia 15.1 with Apple Intelligence has different colored icon.

After updating to macOS 15.1, I discovered that the Apple Intelligence features did not appear on my Mac, even though I met all the requirements. It felt a bit like trying to find the right real estate agent—you think you have done everything right, but sometimes you still come up empty. Just like my website emphasizes the importance of connecting with an agent who understands your goals, I was waiting for Apple Intelligence to activate, mirroring the experience of users waiting for the perfect agent. Apple suggests checking your region and language settings, ensuring they are set to US English, and possibly reinstalling macOS. I also learned that Apple Intelligence might only be available for Apple Silicon devices, which would have been helpful to know earlier! Ultimately, whether it is finding the right tech support or a trustworthy agent, it is about more than just checking off boxes; it is about discovering what truly works for you.

Ok I get this far as well. However I was trying for Siri to use ChatGPT and could not get it to work. I watched a YouTube video that you need to activate this separately with an option "Extend Apple Intelligence and Siri". However same as in your screenshot above, that option is missing for me. How the heck can I activate it.

My feeling is that even with Apple Intelligence turned on it is as dumb as ever.

There’s a (big) download that has to happen, presumably the models.

It didn't take as long as that for me but yes, there does seem to be a delay before Apple Intelligence features become active.
