Missing Siri caption and response settings on MacBook Air

No "Always Show Captions" and "Always Show Responses" in Siri Settings.

My version is MacBook Air M5, Tahoe 26.6, ip address in China Mainland now. When I use Siri, I can't see the input captions and output captions, then I turned to the Settings to try switching it, I found that there is no such settings in this page.

How can I see the captions in the MacBook? Thanks a lot.

There are two images attached to the issue.

Hi,

Siri caption and response settings have been moved or reorganized under Accessibility or updated menu layouts in newer macOS versions (like macOS Sequoia and later), where options like "Type to Siri" reside under System Settings > Accessibility > Siri, while general responses and voice feedback are managed in the main Siri settings on Mac or Apple Intelligence panels.

Where to Find Siri Settings

Type to Siri / Captions: Go to System Settings > Accessibility > Siri to find options for typing requests or text interactions.
Voice and Responses: Check System Settings > Siri (or Apple Intelligence & Siri) to adjust voice feedback, silent/spoken options, and language preferences.
Apple Intelligence Changes: If your Mac supports Apple Intelligence, certain traditional menu items and preference toggles are integrated directly into the new conversational UI or relocated under updated system panels.

I just wonder if Apple Intelligence could not use in your country.
