User level: Level 3 (934 points)Several days after installing MacOS 27 on my Mac Mini M4, within Siri settings, I am still seeing, "Adding support for Siri is in progress. Siri will be unavailable until the update is complete." How long does this take? Has anyone had this to go through and complete?

It took four days for me. Another volunteer here said he was informed it can take up to ten business days. Apple is rolling Siri out slowly.
Bottom line? Patience is a virtue, hang in there.

I had the same problem..it was always showing "adding support for Siri....(etc.). What worked for me....the language in the Systems Settings > Siri was showing as "en_US". Apparently, what worked was changing the setting to a different language first. And then after, changing the language that shows "English (United States)". I also turned off Siri and turned it back on afterwards but not sure if that's mandatory. Anyway...after I did that, whatever was being downloaded stopped and my Mac was suddenly ready with Siri AI.
Hope that helps

I called their support too. It seems to be a waiting game. My MacBook M2 is still waiting, but the iPhone and iPad Mini are on it. Very frustrating. And the support guy said that Apple has not given even the support team any exact information about the rollout schedule.

Then I would assume something went wrong. Time to call Apple Support for help.

My understanding is that Apple Siri is for all accounts under the same Apple ID. So if you're iPhone and iPad has it, your Mac should have it too assuming you use the same Apple ID for all 3 devices.

Yes, when I installed iOS 27 on my iPhone 16 Pro I immediately joined the waiting list. Four days later it was activated. Then I installed macOS 27 on my M5 MacBook Air. Siri was already active when the MBA booted, no need to join the waiting list again.

I expected it would be activated on everything at once, also. Siri was approved for my iPhone over a week ago, but going on six days, my Mac is still waiting.
I did try the trick of changing the language and turning off/on Siri, but no help.
