Where to find Apple Intelligence after updating Macbook Pro?

I am using a MacBook Pro with an M2 processor. The region is set to the United States, the language is English (U.S.), and the Siri language is also English (U.S.). Despite this, the Apple Intelligence feature did not arrive with the new update. What could be the reason for this?

It worked for both my Ipad and iPhone but not the Mac. What could be the reason for this?

I updated the moment the update was available and put myself on the waitlist after my phone rebooted, but I’ve heard nothing. I see no evidence that anything’s coming. It’s kind of like when they create a feature that doesn’t exist and they say oh that’ll be out later this year and it’s January 1 or something.

Just so you know, there are more features that are still coming out. For a refresher they announced Apple Intelligence on June 10 with just some of its features coming out this fall and restricted to English language at first. You can review what they announced on June 10 and also view the WWDC video for review:

OS 18.2 is currently in beta where additional features are being tested:

  • Genmoji
  • Image Playground
  • Image Wand
  • Siri ChatGPT Integration
  • Visual Intelligence


If you watched the video linked previously where they launched Apple Intelligence, it makes it clear that it will be a gradual roll out with some features first becoming available this fall and others with later updates. This is straight from Apple, so if you got different information from another source, then that could explain the difference in your expectations.
