Hi there

Please try this

You need to manually opt-in and enable Siri AI (Beta) in your settings, and make sure your device and Apple account language and region settings are correct. 

How to Enable the New Siri Features

• Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPhone 17 Pro Max.
• Tap Siri: Scroll down and select Siri (or Apple Intelligence & Siri).
• Turn on Siri: If it is off, tap Turn On Siri first.
• Tap Try Siri AI (Beta): Select this option to start the setup and join the access waitlist.
• Complete Setup: Follow the on-screen prompts to choose your voice preferences and review privacy settings.

For European Union residents

The next generation of Apple Intelligence features across apps—such as advanced photo-editing, the reimagined Image Playground, and intelligent features for browsing—are available for users based in the EU with iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 on supported iPhone and iPad models, with macOS 27 Golden Gate on supported Mac models, and with visionOS 27.

For China residents

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

When Apple Intelligence is available in China mainland, previously-purchased devices that support Apple Intelligence will be able to activate and start using a core set of Apple Intelligence features in that region. New Apple Intelligence features will not be available in China while Apple works through regulatory requirements.

Feature Usage Limits

Certain Apple Intelligence features that rely on server-side models are subject to daily usage limits, including but not limited to Siri AI, Intelligent Photo Editing Tools, Image Playground, and AFM 3 Cloud models in Shortcuts. Daily limits may vary by feature, request complexity, system demand, system policies, and other factors. Expanded access to such features will be available for a fee in the future. Use of these features is subject to the Apple Intelligence Terms and Conditions. Learn more at Apple Intelligence Usage Terms.

System requirements

• iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, visionOS 27, watchOS 27
• Up to 14 GB of storage on device for iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone Air, iPad models with M4 and later and at least 12GB of unified memory, Mac models with M3 and later and at least 12GB of unified memory, and Apple Vision Pro (M5)
• Up to 8 GB of storage for other Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro models*
• Up to 1.5GB of storage is required on Apple Watch
• Device language and Siri language set to the same supported language

If you change Siri language, Apple Intelligence may become unavailable until the new Siri language fully downloads and matches the device language.
