Indexing still in progress. Is this “normal”?

My iPad is still indexing
122hours Tuesday Morning 8am

Still No Siri AI
iPad M4 512gb 8gb Ram

My M1 iPad just finished indexing, updated an hour after B1 release.

I haven't used my iPad during the last week and its downloaded just over 50GB from iCloud according to my network stats so perhaps as part of indexing/RAG it is having to download full resolution assets.

I’m on a 15 Pro Max. Installed iOS 27 as soon as it was available. So it’s been about 23 hours and my phone still shows that it’s indexing.

Also on a side note, I am still in the Siri waitlist. Which I am thinking might have to do with the indexing not being done.

Would depend how much data you have.

Still indexing. Still no Siri.

I have Siri, think it was Friday. But “indexing” continues and I have far, far less data than what I’m seeing others post. I don’t think this settings message has anything to do with your level of data.

Leaving my 13 pro max plugged in and on WiFi, screen off, for more than 24 hours, still indexing endlessly. Apple has to do better. This will be pain for users

So what’s the trick WiFi on leave it charging ? I’m guessing when is not on WiFi and charging is not doing anything ?

You do know that your iPhone has always done this, right?

It has always indexed after an update, and it’s never told you how long it’s going to take.

Why do you even need to know how long indexing takes, when there’s nothing you can do to speed it up? Is there something you can’t do with your phone now that indexing is preventing?

The only difference now as opposed to all the other times your iPhone was indexing is the new dialog box that tells you that it’s in progress.

Yes I think people need to stop complaining or Apple is gonna remove the feature. iPhone has always done the is after an update
 
iPhone 17 Pro Max is still indexing after installing 1 hour after the Keynote. I got the new siri 2 days after. Only 2 voice choices right now and both sliders appear to be non functional atm.

Just got Siri! Still indexing.

Just installed Golden Gate on my MacBook Air. No indexing message and Siri was ready to go immediately, probably due to my Apple ID and having Siri off the waiting list on my iPad. I think the indexing syndrome is an iOS thing. Probably resolved with the next release.

It’s about a week now, my 13 Pro Max is still indexing. I plug in my iPhone with screen off about 6 hours a day, and it keep indexing. Will it ever be finished?

Oh, emails... That could well be the reason mine is still indexing... I don't have many photos or videos, and practically no docs; but I've got a lot of emails.

Mine's been going for a week now.
17Pro, 211gb on device, 68gb in iCloud (on 200gb plan)

This is the dark side of iCloud 😅. They barely do anything server side and it's your devices that do everything. Imagine how much money they save per year not having data centres churning that stuff out. I think MS and Google outspend them in that area by a factor of 15.

Hi, I’m curious: do you install beta versions because you want early access to the newest iOS features, or because you want to help Apple identify bugs and issues?

After all, a beta is still a fairly unfinished version of the final release. Personally, I wouldn’t feel comfortable installing it on my main phone.

I like to play around with new updates even on my 17 PM daily driver. I’ve already been waiting 2 years for a way overdue Siri, so I wasn’t going to wait any longer.

So far it’s running better than any 26 release; new Siri is working really well overall, stability has been rock solid with zero OS crashes for me, and all of the main apps I use have been great.

I even installed it on my Ultra 3, no issues there either, and Apple finally fixed a UI bug with notifications that they never fixed in any 26 update, which was introduced in 26. For a B1 release, it’s really good and should only improve from here on.

Plus, my 17 PM is still indexing after 6 days, though the new Siri is searching for things just fine, and battery life doesn’t seem to be affected by it.

I'm experiencing the same issue on my iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 27 Beta 1. "Indexing in Progress" has been stuck for about a week now. I've tried restarting, keeping the phone plugged in overnight with Wi-Fi enabled, and making sure Low Power Mode is off, but nothing has changed. Glad to know I'm not the only one seeing this.
