Indexing still in progress. Is this “normal”?

I am at a full week of indexing and no enhanced Siri. This seems like a long time

How are people checking the indexing status? Percentage
 
I have been at 95% for a few days now. Battery is fine. No heat issues. So it seems like everything is okay. Not worried about it. Just curious.
 
Checking in I see some are getting the new Siri. I myself am on 50% indexing been stuck at that point for 3 days. It on the charger a lot and my WiFi is excellent. No new Siri. If I were to restore form the ipsw do you all think this crap would be done? Been 8 days since install. It just seems to be stuck or something and I’m getting anxious

I have checked the percentage and it’s been on 50% for 3 days now. Even if it would move 5-10 percent I’d say wait it out. But it’s not moving at all. Should I DFU and reset from ipsw or would that just start from scratch again?
 
I installed the beta on my iPhone 15 pro on the 9th. Got Siri ai today on the 18th. Still indexing… on the plus side, the new Siri is way better, but still buggy, as to be expected. This will definitely replace ChatGPT for a random questions. Just not Claude for my agentic workflows…yet…

Interesting find. I previously posted my iPhone has been on 50% for 3 days now I just checked again and it still is. I installed on both my iPhone 17 and iPad the same day. My iPad when checked yesterday was 63%. When I checked it I had turn off Siri. I checked it again today and with Siri shut off it’s up to 94%. So for tonight I am turning Siri off on my iPhone and see what it reads tomorrow. I lost back with my finding. Just something I noticed. I was considering doing a wipe on my iPhone but I really don’t want to lose all my apps setup with faceId and my health data. So I’ll try the Siri off and see tomorrow if the index score comes up. Plus I got a feeling B2 will be out Monday or Tuesday. That alone may fix things.

Stuck at 89% for 3 days now. Assuming it's Mail app indexing.

@ivanpasic should be fine, probably limit charging to 80% in Settings.app so the battery SoC isn't so high over longer periods.

Mine was stuck at 76 for a few days it was at 88 this morning will check it every couple days.

How should anyone here know if it is ‘normal’? iOS 27 has been out since 24 hours, nobody outside Apple knows how long indexing is normal or not.

My Air is also still indexing, as well as my iPad Pro M2. We will see how long it‘ll take.

Correct.
Indexing time will also be impacted by;

- Phone usage. Are you on vacation & your phone is on your hotel room nightstand while you are out on the beach, or are you at the office with back to back zoom, teams, texts, etc? Taking lots of photos, etc.

- Data usage / stored. Shouldn't have to explain that somebody with 50 GB of data on their iPhone is going to have a much faster index completion vs. someone with 800GB.

- Free disk / storage; someone with a 256 GB iPhone and 50 GB free, is going to have a much worse experience vs. someone with a 1 TB phone and 600 GB free. SSD's / HDD's / storage of any kind takes a noticeable performance hit once they approach & exceed ~75% capacity.
 
My 13 Pro Max stuck at 72% indexing for more than 3 days now. I give up, and will use my iPhone as usual. Plugging in with screen off to speed up indexing is hopeless. At then end, doing that will ill my battery for sure. Of course it keep indexing for over 10 days now. This must be bug.

Apple has to fix this issue and do better job

Mine stayed on 80% for a few days, then finished a few days later/ They Also made it clear to actual developers that the first index could take upto 2 weeks.( device, data and usage dependent ) But this might blow your mind old Index (IOS 26 even 18) for some could take around a week some more. Apple just didn't put it front and centre in the settings. I feel like why they moved it was to try and stop so many people crying about their battery life in the few few weeks.

But you well know its a beta. Not designed for people to use on a non development device... so if you didn't expect issues like this maybe a beta is not the best idea for you?

By using a Mac and these instructions:

Still seeing 'Indexing in Progress' on iOS 27? Here’s how to check the actual status - 9to5Mac

For some iOS 27 beta 1 users, the indexing process is taking much longer than expected. Thankfully, there’s a way to check the actual percentage from a Mac.
9to5mac.com 9to5mac.com

The article is a bit general, so you can fine-tune it by:

• Select your device from the sidebar

• Type "Spotlight indexing progress"
Press Enter

• Open Settings app on iPhone

• Click Start (Play) button.

Can you all check your Messages in iCloud to see when the last sync took place? I can’t get mine to sync correctly ever since I installed 27.

Works for me, but I had only 30.000, not 12x like yours... And 1.1GB only. Could be that it needs time. A lot of time.

It’s a developer beta not meant for use on your main device.

I do think there’s an indexing bug for some people, though. My 14 Pro has been stuck at 93% for several days now. Waiting for beta 2 to see if it gets fixed.

Are we sure this is not the correct completeness? The other number says 95%, but this says 0.79 which I suppose means 79% ?

PipelineCompleteness number is almost certainly a coarse, sticky figure (it may sit on a round value for a long time while the daemons chew through a heavy phase), while the real work is visible in the daemon streams.
If corespotlightd, searchd, spotlightknowledged, and the com.apple.spotlight subsystem are all actively streaming data on their own (without you poking Settings), then the indexing engine is alive and doing work. A truly stuck/wedged daemon is silent, it doesn't emit a steady flow of activity. So this is far more consistent with "slow, still grinding" than "frozen and dead."
 
It took 5 days for my 17PM. Still says joined Siri waitlist.

Yet my iPad Pro is still indexed. 2 weeks later. It never leaves the house and is connected to WiFi or cellular all day. It’s never turned off and rarely used for more than doomscrolling maybe 2 hours a day.
