I think it’s busy downloading the support for processing models. It looks really cool though haha.
Got a tip for us?

They aren’t even bringing it to the UK straight away. The US takes our language, misspell a few words and then assume because of this we won’t be able to understand them and so cannot release it here… Just as a heads up but sticking a Z in words which should have an S isn’t going to confuse us
I’m in the UK and it works for me. As per others I changed my region and languages. The proofread rewrite features pretty cool.

In the United Kingdom, the feature is functional for me. As per others’ suggestions, I modified my region and language settings. The proofread rewrite feature is quite impressive.

I’m currently in the UK and it’s working great for me. I followed the same steps as others and changed my region and languages. The proofread rewrite feature is really cool!

It seems EU second class Apple users are out of this 15.1 Sequoia update.

Could you please provide me with the proofreading rewrite feature? I am unable to locate it in the available options.
In iMessage (didn't try mail yet) you have to highlight the text and then the little icon shows up Apple Intelligence.
While installing, it states not available in EU or China. Seemingly Apple believes that Switzerland is in the EU (although we cannot access other App stores etc).
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.

Well I managed all of 3 contextual questions before I got “OK, I found this on the web…”:
Siri, what day is it?
> Monday
How long is it till Tuesday?
> It’s five and a half hours till Tuesday
And since last Tuesday?
> “OK, I found this on the web for Last Tuesday, check it out”

Oh boy, here I go installing an unstable developer beta on my main device again...
ja es geht halt einfach nicht. Viele labern hier scheisse. Auf dem Mac geht es aber da gibts anscheinend nur neue Siri UI sonst nix.
Did the same and it worked. I reckon we're the first 2 people in Leeds with Apple Intelligence. 😂I’ve just changed Siri and device language to English (US) for science
Presumably Apple's location based restrictions are much more sophisticated than just changing your device language and region. It's probably using a combination of device location, cellular location, and network location to verify that you're actually located in the US.
then how are you in Germany and don't understand 1 word?sorry, no idea what you just said
