Indexing still in progress. Is this “normal”?

iPhone 17 Pro 256GB here. Updated in person at WWDC26, and still indexing since then. I’d love to know what sort of progress it’s made, but as long as the indexing finishes at some point, I think I’ll be alright. If that means waiting a few more days, so be it. My only worry is that I don’t have consistent connection to WiFi…
I do have the new Siri AI, so that’s a plus!

Same here. Got off of Siri waitlist on Wednesday about 5pm, but still indexing as of almost 5pm Friday after install within 30 mins of release. Only 4 GB of photos, 3 GB of music and under 1 GB of Messages on the device. So not really sure what is happening. I've even Soft Restarted a few times this week. Still there.

Apple really missed the boat by not offering a progress bar. They should definitely put one there before it goes GM.

My poor 11 Pro is still indexing since the release of the iOS 27 dev beta LOL. The 15 Pro finished it in a few hours.

My iPad started indexing on Monday. Finally finished sometime this afternoon. I have about a terabyte of photos in iCloud

My iPhone 13 Pro Max is still indexing, and, twice, during theses four days, my unit get hot, and the screen turn all yellow and become unusable. I have to shut down, let it cool, and restart. Everything work ok again. Indexing is causing too much issue. When will it finish indexing. It’s doing so four 4 days now

17 pro max. Still indexing since right after the event. Neither iPad Pro or iPhone finished. The iPad hasn’t left the house all week. No reason for this.
