I’m trying also, get me on that wish list

Well I’m in, and got Notification to join, wonder if I lose it if I change back to uk ?

I’m also in Switzerland, and have 18.1, been approved, and am already testing US english Proof reading. Works great!

What app and how are you getting it to proofread?

Ahoj, jsem ve Francii, ale už dlouho mám jazyk Siri nastavený na angličtinu USA. Nastavil jsem a potom resetoval Region na USA a jazyk Angličtina USA a žádná AI. Říká, že to funguje v mém regionu. Nějaký nápad, co jsem mohl udělat jinak, než jsem nastavil, pak resetoval Region na USA a jazyk Angličtina USA a

I changed back and forth between Switzerland and US and it worked with no issues.

Juts updated to the latest developer beta. Have a 15 Pro Max. US English language. Don't see an Apple Intelligence option. What am I missing?

 

[Will Tisdale 🎗]

Uhm that’s what (public) beta testers are for.

That logic is bizarre and quite ridiculous. They know about the bugs (acknowledged in feedback app for “a future OS release”) and there are no workarounds so why do they need to make a wider group of testers suffer them?

 

[N0ughtsAndCr0sses]

I wish we had that here in the uk

Such a tease 🤣🤣🤣

 

[Nosmo King]

Affirmative, from Switzerland

No wait, I also changed my region to the United States.

 

[Nosmo King]

What app and how are you getting it to proofread?

I tested it in messages. Somebody mentioned it might not work in Mail but havent tested it there. Notes maybe too?

Changing back to Uk, Disables Siri 2.0

 

[Godf1st]

What app and how are you getting it to proofread?

I have utilized this feature on Safari, Mail, and Messages. To access the writing tools, I selected the desired text and then chose the appropriate writing options via writing tools.

Replied with writing tools.

I thought you meant the access and you would have to apply again.

nm just saw the 'also available: iOS 18.1' option at the bottom after just updating my developer beta. Easy to miss.

 

[macfacts]

Installed on 4 devices. 3 say joined waitlist yet the 4th device activated immediately

Congratulations, Apple lottery

Keep in mind everyone. Apple Intelligence is for the top 1% Luxury iPhone owners Only for iPhone 15 Pro, iPads M1 to M4.

Pro models make up 23% of iPhone 15 sales.

 

[Kal El]

My phone got super hot after the update, but it’s cooled down a bit now after an hour.

 

[dwaite]

I hate the EU😭

It seems fine other than the lack of intelligence (specifically Apple Intelligence).

 

[PBG4 Dude]

I use this so much when cooking, but you have to be careful. More than once I've said "15 minutes" and Siri thinks I said "50 minutes". Yeah that food will be quite thoroughly burned.

This is why I started asking for 49 minute timers. Siri couldn’t distinguish between the two. Most of the time 15 minutes is correct but 50 is almost never correct.

 

[dwaite]

Oh wow is this the first time they've had beta testing for both the major release in the fall and its first big dot update simultaneously? It sounds like 18.1 is going to be the exact same as 18.0 just with some of the Apple Intelligence features turned on, no?

First time this early

 

[Juggernaut99]

Is the waitlist on an Apple account level or per device?

Account. I was on the waitlist (for all of 2 mins) on my Mac, upgraded my phone, and I didn't have to re-add myself to the waitlist on the phone.

 

[jonnyv34]

how it is possible that being in EU, I get the intelligence features just bt using an App Store US account and the same doesn't work for the iPad? This makes no sense at all. How is Apple finding region if the iPad is not a cellular one, so no sim to be detected.

 

[Ingo Brocksom]

I thought you meant the access and you would have to apply again.

No don’t have to apply again just turns it off and on when changing region

 

[spazzcat]

What app and how are you getting it to proofread?

If you right-click when writting, you’ll see a writing tools menu.

 

[HylianKnight]

Yes, it just doesn't work. A lot of people are talking crap here. It works on the Mac, but apparently there's only the new Siri UI and nothing else.

Translated for you.

Writing tools are there, as well as message summaries.

 

[Jamie-30]

so do you loose all apple intelligence functionality if you switch back to UK? Or is it just Siri 2.0?
