Fix Apple Intelligence Stuck Downloading

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! it works currently only on UK not US for 18.2 update

Mine doesnt even show that its an option and it should. You've made it farther than I have. It showed it for a brief moment and then took it away and now shows nothing. Another awesome update from apple

Using 16pro max and recently updated 18.1 .

First it took hours to prepare the apple intelligence after waitlisting now I can somehow enable apple intelligence option but can’t use any features cause it stuck on downloading …

Just upgraded and semi bricked the first 16 pro max during the install.

it was in a almost bricked state I’m sure hooking it up to a Mac would fix it but gladly the Verizon staff just gave me a brand new identical one and swapped it . They knew the nightmare we had gone through upgrading our phones with best buy .

don’t upgrade your phone through Best Buy . Ever .

hard lesson learned .

i have a macbook pro m1 pro when apple released the update i joined the waitlist quick after few minute i was able to download apple inteligence today the old Siri came back from nowwhwere , writing tools suspended and the model is at downloading

im using iPhone 15 por max and iOS 18.1.1

but it won’t move beyond the “ preparing “

been like that for days now and I have deleted lot of my stuff to make space since it needs 4 GB. But not even that

Me too. When I go onto settings, it’s says that I have to wait for Apple intelligence to be downloaded before using the features. Earlier it was working normally but now it’s not. Hope the downloading process would be faster

After a long time waiting for the Apple Intelligence to download, a disappointing experience. The feature “ clean up” on the photos, doesn’t works properly. I can’t remove emojis or words without a blur showing up. Instead of “ cleaning “ it just makes a mess. Keep getting “ safety filters applied “ on an emoji or letter or words

The same here I’ve been with technical support and they did a walk-through where they had to go on my screen and figure out the problem, but unfortunately the Apple Intelligence is still on download if anybody else is having this problem please just need some help to resolve the problem

Yesterday was the official Public release of 18.2... and it destroyed my Apple Intelligence! . It's been stuck on downloading at 0% for 15 hours now even though I'm using the same WiFi I've always used for updates (including the Beta updates that worked perfectly fine) and I'm on a new iPhone 16 Pro. I've tried all the suggestions (including the ridiculous ones) here on this thread to no avail. Don't know what to do now... any help would be greatly appreciated.

It’s unbelievable the main pitch for the 16 series was Apple intelligence. The phones don’t come with Apple Intelligence and you have to jump through all these hoops to get it… at least I got an 8th option to get to my camera! Btw the AI search with the Camera is horrendous.

This action has been successfully implemented. If you are located in the United States and have American settings enabled, please adhere to the instructions provided above. 

The download process was initiated promptly and completed within approximately five minutes. However, it is worth noting that a minor technical glitch occurred in the settings section, specifically between the location, language, and Apple Intelligence options. O_o

I have IOS 18.2.1 installed. My new iPhone 16 pro max is saying Apple intelligence downloading for 2 days. I tried others’ suggestions like change the region and back to US, change language and back to English. But no effect. How to solve this problem?

i just opened up my 16 pro, and when I go to apple intel and Siri, it’s already set to English (united states) so I clicked whatever the “get” button was and it’s said downloading for the past three days. But the rest of my family’s worked fine of course.

I'm chill, but when you tell people that switching to UK is not necessary, you have no clue what you are talking about because for some of us IT IS! So you are putting out false information, or at the very least misinformed to our situation. And how is it helpful to simply tell us to do the very first thing we've all tried first a dozen times!?
