Apple Intelligence will start rolling out to the public in U.S. English only when iOS 18.1 is released in October, but additional languages will be added over the next year. The features are compatible with any iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 model.

Apple told publications including The Verge that Apple Intelligence will support the following previously-unannounced languages in 2025:

  • English (India)
  • English (Singapore)
  • German
  • Italian
  • Korean
  • Portuguese
  • Vietnamese
Apple previously announced that support for versions of English spoken in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K. will be added in December, and that support for Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish will be added next year.

iOS 18.1 is already available in beta for developers, and it includes Apple Intelligence features such as writing tools for proofreading text, notification summaries, suggested replies in the Messages app, the ability to record and transcribe phone calls, and a new "Clean Up" tool in the Photos app that can quickly remove objects from a photo.

Here's the full list of languages that are now known:

  • English (U.S.) (October 2024)
  • English (Australia) (December 2024)
  • English (Canada) (December 2024)
  • English (New Zealand) (December 2024)
  • English (U.K.) (December 2024)
  • English (South Africa) (December 2024)
  • Chinese (2025)
  • French (2025)
  • Japanese (2025)
  • Spanish (2025)
  • English (India) (2025)
  • English (Singapore) (2025)
  • German (2025)
  • Italian (2025)
  • Korean (2025)
  • Portuguese (2025)
  • Vietnamese (2025)
Due to the Digital Markets Act, Apple Intelligence will not be available on the iPhone and iPad in the EU, with the features limited to Macs with the M1 chip or newer there. Apple said it is discussing this issue with the European Commission.

anyone if there is a way to use Apple Intelligence features from other countries not on this list?
 
It wont be available in the EU. As Germany is in the EU I’m afraid you are out of look for now. Until the EU gets its head out of its behind.
Yeah, always fault of laws and regulations. Why don’t we get rid of them all and let mega companies like Apple or Google decide what’s right and good? I am sure it would be an incredible experience.

Ah the elusive Brexit benefit
 
Yeah, complicated... Apple Intelligence is more walled than other AI, but get refused when others AI are not!?

Also: I am Swiss and Switzerland is sometimes being considered by Apple as an EU country, sometimes not (politically it is not, but is quite aligned in terms of laws) so hard to know what will be available here!
