New Siri Waitlist

I’ve been on waitlist and indexing since Monday. Have had phone almost perpetually plugged into wall or portable charger since, and I’m still indexing and still no new Siri. 311 GB of data on phone, 1.5 TB in iCloud, so………

Continuously asking me to unlock my iPhone to perform a task. I toggled the allow Siri with locked screen setting, which didn't work. Disabling then re-enabling new Siri worked temporarily, but then started asking to unlock the phone again. Asking "are you ready to call?" when asking to call someone while driving.

sounds like something for the feedback app. I wonder if you can tell Siri to perform these tasks on phone (guessing asking to unlock probably means it is reaching out to the cloud...)

I reported it. Weird thing is if I say "read my text messages without requiring me to unlock my phone" it will do just that. Has a lot of potential, and I'm sure Apple will get it right. Like Maps, it'll take some time. Also realize this is a developer beta, but I guess I'm disappointed at the current state since Apple has delayed this so long that it led to a class-action lawsuit.

That it can do it without unlocking the phone is very hopeful. I took the leaked supposedly Siri AI prompt and asked ChatGPT about it and it was quite impressed:
"That’s not really a chatbot answer. It’s much closer to having a research assistant with access to your personal archive.
That, more than anything else in the leaked prompt, seems to reveal Apple’s goal: not an AI that tells jokes, but an AI that can reliably navigate the user’s entire digital life and perform actions safely."
it asking to unlock the phone might just be a bit of β overprotection.

I signed up for the waitlist on Monday morning on my iPad Pro. Installed the beta on my phone later that day. Both devices still indexing, neither have the new Siri. I knew that I would have to wait but I am admittedly surprised that I have been on the waitlist for almost a week.

Just got off of the waitlist. I signed up Monday night at 11:00 PM.
I just installed 27 on iPad and Watch. Was a bit surprised that on iPad it already showed me as on waitlist; thought it was a per device join situation. Fully expecting to get it on iPad faster than iPhone too… 😂
I just installed Golden Gate on my MacBook Air, Siri was immediately ready to go, as it became enabled on my iPad on Friday. I think it goes by your account/Apple ID. also, there was no indexing message, I think that’s an iOS glitch, or it's programmed to not show that message and do it all in the background.

That's roughly when I joined. Hopefully I get it soon. I am beginning to think that mine is bugged.
100% this is why some are on the wait list a long time - it’s because for years I have been rude to SIRI (often swearing). This is just payback, I get it - thanks Siri. I suspect I will be off the waitlist by iOS 34….
Gratitude detected, you are now off the waitlist.
Got off the waitlist about an hour ago, downloaded the beta Monday night. This is an iPhone 16 pro max that is no longer my daily driver.

Ditto. In the same boat. 😂. I keep checking here every day to see if I should keep hoping. 😝

I finally got off the New Siri waitlist some time yesterday morning, at least on my iPhone 17PM, and there it's working fine, including the app. But it's not working on my Macbook Pro M1 16 Inch running macOS 27. When I try to continue Siri conversations there, which I've started on my iPhone, and even when I start new Siri conversations on my Macbook, Siri keeps responding with "Something's wrong", "There's a problem", etc.
When I was still on the Siri waitlist, I used Terminal on my Macbook to enter the command to supposedly gain access to Siri ahead of being taken off the waitlist, and after that, I no longer saw "Joined waitlist" in Siri's System Settings. But after this when I tried Siri on my Macbook, I got the same failed responses then as I'm getting now that I'm off the waitlist on my iPhone. My assumption has been that after I graduated off of the waitlist on my iPhone, that my Macbook's Siri app would also start working, but maybe that's not how it works. But I'm also wondering if that Terminal command messed something up that needs to be fixed now.

I waited a day or two before I downloaded the beta onto my iPhone. Still haven't gotten off the waitlist but keep hoping and checking.
I just downloaded the beta onto one of my M4 iPads and my M2 MBA; I gather that those devices will lag behind in getting off the waitlist. Anticipation...
