Updating to a beta always turns on analytics, it’s one of the options you have to agree to when the device restarts after installing the update. You can turn it back off though.

To be fair, my issue was a bit different. After a restart, Siri would immediately deactivate after being activating. That said, the age old troubleshooting step of turning it off and back on again is what lead me to try toggling any Siri related feature that can be enabled/disabled. Worth a shot.
Some bugs take longer to fix but you still want to get the next beta out to confirm some fixes and look for new bugs. There isn't time to make each beta release perfect. it is a matter of successive approximation.
Anybody get accepted to MacOS for AI? Installed on an iPad to test, joined the waitlist and was accepted in like 15 minutes. Then I added to a second iPad and iPhone didn't even ask for waitlist, just said it was installing necessary files and it worked. But when I put MacOS 15.1 on MBP I had to join the waitlist and it's still saying "joined waitlist" for the last 24 hours.
Seems to me Apple is slowly rolling out Apple Intelligence features into 18.1. Today the “Priority” category appeared in the mail app. Can be toggled by tapping the ellipses in the top right corner of the mail app.
Anybody else having trouble using the double-tap to get the type to Siri UI up? I tap, it shows the bar, and then double-tap it, but doesn't seem to do anything.
Edit: a second restart seems to have it show up now, but it just dismisses when I send a request. Maybe a third restart is needed 😅

I had this exact issue. Turn off listen for Siri, activate Siri via the button, and then you should be able to turn listen for Siri back on.
For me the restart after installing 18.1 and apple intelligence request finished allowed that to work have not needed a second restart on my M4 iPad Pro
I always thought the term “Apple Intelligence” referred to the ability to read the original article and some of the comments before posting questions here.
after a restart noticed Siri was enabled and working as expected
Ugh. Apple appears to have pulled the Apple Intelligence Betas (all 3 of them) this AM along with the release of the beta 5's.
I hope they release some updates between now and the eventual release date -- rather not deal with downgrading if I can help it.

I’m on a Developer account running an iPhone 15 Pro Max and an M4 iPad pro. In Software update, I changed the beta updates to “IOS 18 Developer Beta”, but am not being given the option to install 18.1 on either device. I’ve restarted both devices and still no joy. I was able to install these Sequoia developer beta.
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.
Developers can choose whether to opt into the new betas with Apple Intelligence, or stay on the standard iOS 18/iPadOS 18/macOS Sequoia 15 beta track. An iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max, or an iPad or Mac with an Apple silicon chip is required to use Apple Intelligence, and only eligible devices will see the updates.
After updating, turning on Apple Intelligence can be done in the Settings app. There is an Apple Intelligence Waitlist that developers must opt into, but access should be granted within a few hours.
Several Apple Intelligence features are available as of today, including Writing Tools, Siri's revamped design, the option to move between voice commands and typing to Siri, summaries for transcripts and other content, the new Mail categories and smart replies, smart replies in Messages, and more.
With Writing Tools, you can rewrite, spellcheck, grammar check, and summarize text in Messages, Notes, Mail, Pages, and other apps where you write. Summaries also work for transcripts in the Notes app.
Siri's updated design shows a glow around the edges of the screen when Siri is activated, and tapping at the bottom of the display allows you to type to Siri rather than use voice commands. Siri has all of Apple's product knowledge and Apple's support database, so you can ask for help, plus the personal assistant can maintain context between requests and better follow along if you stumble over your words or change your mind when speaking.
Mail supports summaries of messages along with Smart Reply options, with Smart Reply also available for the Messages app. The Reduce Interruptions Focus mode is available to filter out unimportant notifications while surfacing notifications you need immediately, such as a ride arriving.
Photos supports Memories, so you can create a slideshow with natural language requests, and there's natural language for search. Search now encompasses videos so you can get right to the video segment you're looking for.
Features that are not available today include Image Playground, Genmoji, ChatGPT integration, the option to erase objects in Photos, Priority Notifications, and other Siri capabilities like the ability to do more in apps and on-screen awareness. New capabilities will be rolled out over time, with Apple making regular updates.
As of right now, the Apple Intelligence features are limited to the developer beta, and it is not clear if there will be a public beta for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1. Apple plans to release Apple Intelligence in a beta capacity later this fall, and as these features are in a separate beta from the launch versions of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia 15, Apple Intelligence will not be available right away when the new software updates first come out in September.
When Apple Intelligence does officially launch this fall, it will still be in beta. Developers who plan to install the new updates today should be aware that Apple Intelligence is still in the early stages of development.

Thoughts on how to resolve this?
They pulled the betas. Wait til beta 2 of 18.1 drops on Monday/Tuesday, then the option to update to 18.1 for those of you who don’t have it yet will appear.
Remember: They make updates to 18.0 developer beta first, then a week later apply those same updates to the 18.1 beta.
