consider yourself lucky you’re on the waitlist at all unlike people with an EU Apple ID 🙃
Really, we’re doing you a favor by not plugging it up even more

Please mention where you are from when you get in. We are still waiting for EU membership confirmation

same here : EU - US AppStore ... you won't even make it on the wait list with an EU AppStore account, you need US, UK, CH (Switzerland) or any other non-EU and non-China AppStore account to jump on it
 
I have an EU AppStore account but I am not physically in the EU and my iPhone is also not from the EU. I am on the waiting list. Is that just a bug and it will in fact never open up?

For those that have a US AppStore account and got off the waiting list: What happens when you switch back to an EU account?

If you’re able to join the list you’re most likely good. Switching back to EU account gives a “Siri not available on this device” message when you try to use it.

But isn’t the entire system messy then? I am currently logged into my EU AppStore account and on the waitlist. If I (ever) get off it, I can use the new Siri. Meanwhile someone else already got access to it and blocks his new Siri just by logging in to an EU account?

I only tried the switch-back to EU Appstore during the waitlist, which led to falling back to the iOS26 Siri with no waitlist displayed, after switching back to Swiss-Appstore the waiting list reappeared.

Took a deep breath and tried it on the iPad > immediately switched back to the old-"glow2 Siri ... Siri App still installed, but not functional.
Switching back to Swiss AppStore and new Siri (Beta) is back.

I have a EU Apple ID, also EU App Store account, and i’m on the waitlist. But I live in Russia.

It comes back when logging in to the US account again. Yes it is messy, but that’s the problem of the user trying to access a feature only available outside their region.
 
I just know it's not related to access, and I know it'll take days initially and continuously update thereafter. So I do care, I just not obsessing on it.
FWIW my 17 Pro did not show any indexing message and I got the new Siri after about 48h. Could of course be that it was indexing but the notification was not showing, though I did not notice any battery drain or excess heat.
 
24 hours here so far .. for anyone that got in does the new app download automatically or do you have to manually download from the App Store ?
 
For everyone in Germany or EU. In since a few minutes!

Settings:

- German main apple account!!!
- US apple account in the store!!!
- system language US
- Siri language US
- location US

I’m not sure if every setting is needed, but I Think the most important is to lock in with and US Apple ID in the Store.

My Air and 15 Pro have been upgraded to iOS 27 as soon as the new iOS was available for download and I was placed on the join waitlist. My Air finished indexing today however my 15 Pro is still indexing and I’m still on the waitlist . . . the new SIRI app isn’t available to me yet.
 
Finally off the waitlist! Siri AI available and working. Need to check my iPad when I get home. This is about 2 hours after the keynote and installing the beta on Monday.
