Right, because that's not confusing at all.
Apple is today providing developers with the first betas of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, with the new software introducing an early version of the Apple Intelligence features. These new betas will be in testing alongside the current iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia 15 betas.
“Why isn’t it showing up on my Apple IIe? Apple is trying to force me to buy new stuff!!”🤪
Yeah. At least we have context awareness when making multiple requests, which seems to work okay for an initial beta.
You need to normally access dev seeds, then if you restart your Mac after checking for 15.1 it should show up as an additional choice from MacOS 15.0 Sequoia. It took a bit of time to show earlier in the day as a choice.
Change the language to US English and it should work. That’s the only language it supports right now.
I can’t get Siri to do ANY searches on my photos. Every query is met with “here’s what I found on the web” when I asked for pictures of my cat. Milo the cat has his own section under “people and pets”, but Siri can’t search for him.
I believe you have to use the search button within photos. Seems like an oversight to not add it to Siri though.
I believe that the next stage for Siri AI is increased integration with more apps.
I hope so I can only open photos with Siri but have to use the search button to look for anything
I’m not talking about Siri searches. Go into photos and type your search terms. Most of the Siri upgrades are coming later.
i had some issues. I turned off “Listen for…”, activated Siri manually, and then re-enabled “Listen for”. This fixed my issues.
How to miss the point entirely.
What you do is you fix the bugs then push out a new test release with fixes for said bugs before significantly enlarging your pool of testers to the general public who are far more likely to complain about basic functionality being buggy than developers.
Given that Apple already have fixes according to the feedback app (and they seem happy enough to release revised developer betas and/or delay releases for bug fixes) this could and should have been done.
Is that really so difficult to comprehend?
No YOU are missing the point. You release the public beta to find NEW bugs, and, so as not to be flooded with reports on KNOWN bugs, you list those. Is THAT so hard to understand? Moving on...

So what we are saying that for an iPhone:
- in the US it works fine no need to change anything
- out of the US but not in the EU or China you can change your region and languages and it works
- in the EU, on holiday, living there you are knackered and you’ll not get it until regulations change and even changing the regional setting don’t make a difference. VPNs are also no support so it’s move countries or just wait.
When updating settings you don’t need to change App Store or other details just the device location, language and Siri language.
Mac look to be a little easier but if it’s intel based you need to update.
I’m currently in Spain, managed to down load the update but can’t join the waiting list due to the EU rule.
