siri is refusing to do anything on my 15 pro max

Yup. About 100 posts above yours saying pretty much the same thing.

That’s weird, my Siri asked if I’d like a cup of coffee and if I was free tonight for dinner…

(Sorry…stupid dad jokes)

If able, would you mind posting a screenshot of what the Apple Intelligence & Siri settings page looks like when it actually completes the download? E.g., how can you tell it’s finished?

So funny enough I got the “downloading Siri” pop up again this morning. I did the same thing as yesterday, I toggled AI, restarted my phone, connected to WiFi, toggled AI, and then waited a few minutes and it’s working again. Unsure what’s going on on the backend, I wish we got version numbers for models so we knew they were pushing updates.

Even with AI turned off?

ah.. doh.

Is it possible Siri has become self aware and pushed this strange update herself? maybe that’s why it’s not finishing because Apple is trying to block it?

Same here too. Apple is aware of this bug as it was happening last week. Hopefully a fix soon.

 

[john991]

Just wondering if anyone did a ipsw repair? And did this fix the download problem?

I have a feeling the software downloads but waits for iOS 18.1 beta 4. Since we don’t have it. Siri won’t update

 

[yeah]

Siri finally works now and models are finished downloading. I’m guessing beta 4 is imminent!

The option to even select 18.1 is gone from my phone, do you see it on yours?

Just iOS 18 public and developer betas. Let’s hope for the best!!

Now I can’t even activate Siri. Before it would at least light up (or in the case of typing to Siri, present a dialogue box) Now it won’t do anything

 

[mikelets456]

I hope they get Beta 4 quickly as my IT guy keeps coming to my desk asking me questions about "why"..."how"...."when"....I told him to reboot... LOL

Ok. Now it’s back to activating but doing nothing else.

Same here. Seems to

same here too. Tried various combinations of restarting and reactivating intelligence. Was working fine for a week when I initially installed beta 18.1.

Interesting that iCloud T&Cs just got an update too.

 

[Jimmy Bubbles]

I fully accept and am very aware of the risks of betas. When something this happens later though, we’ll ALL be the beta testers. 😂

So I just went and accepted that after reading your post and in the Apple intelligence section it no longer shows that’s it’s stuck at 99% and Siri works again.
