Why Siri AI isn't automatic after your iOS 27 update
Apple rolled out iOS 27 on Monday. The biggest update, Siri AI, isn't automatically enabled after the download.
Apple's latest iOS 27 update brings improvements to its virtual assistant, Siri AI, although users must navigate a waitlist to access its full capabilities. The AI-powered assistant promises to pull together information from across apps and act on it, such as finding hotel confirmations in screenshots or suggesting restaurants based on dietary preferences mentioned in group chats.
To access Siri AI, users must update their device to iOS 27, navigate to Settings, enable the feature, choose a voice, complete voice enrollment, review privacy settings, and finally, join the waitlist. Reportedly, wait times can range from four hours to two days, with users around the world experiencing similar delays. Only iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models, as well as iPhone 16 models and later, can run Siri AI, and the feature is not available on iPhones in the European Union or mainland China.
