Optimization Search and Siri Stuck at 92%

I have 15 Pro, IOS 27. I am on the wait list for Siri AI (Beta).


I can see the optimization has begun but it has been suck at 92% for a few days. I have reset my network settings, restarted Siri - no change. Any suggestions?


iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 26

The 92% is for Search and Siri indexing, not your position on the Siri AI waitlist.


Apple says that indexing after an update can take hours or even days. I’d leave the iPhone connected to Wi-Fi and power for a few longer periods, preferably while you’re not using it. I wouldn’t reset network settings again since that won’t rebuild the index.


If it stays at exactly 92% for several more days, even after being left charging overnight, I’d report it to Apple rather than start resetting the phone.

I had a meeting with Apple top tier support. We generated log files, shared my screen, etc.


During that meeting, the Optimization Search and Siri Stuck that was stuck at 92% went away - actually during the meeting. Timing is a funny thing.


So it took my phone five plus days to finish.


I asked if there was anyway to view the status, and I was told no. When it disappears that means it is done.


I also asked if turned off Siri, might that action reset the indexing. They said it may and the optimization may start again. It was unclear if the indexing would be from the beginning or some other part of the optimization.


Thank you all for your help.
