New Siri Waitlist

[Bonestle]

Still waiting, 74 hours and counting. Australia, Australian English.

Same here. I’m sure it will happen before too long. Seems completely random from reading the posts here.

I'm underwhelmed with the new Siri so far. I'm having issues where if my phone is connected to my car's Bluetooth, I have to unlock my iPhone before Siri makes a phone call (despite me having turned on allow Siri on the lock screen). Also, I'm being asked to confirm the phone that I want to call. Overall, I feel like there have been advancements in many areas at the cost of regression in doing common tasks. I couldn't get Siri to play my favorite songs today. It kept wanting to bring up crap from Taylor Swift.

Has your indexing finished? as I had some weird results before my indexing finished. More so in Apple Music. Now no issues with it. Now I’m getting weird results with notes so going on what’s happening indexing is currently hitting my notes as it was fine yesterday

I wonder if the wait time is actually down to iCloud storage usage, and that needing indexing.

I’m still waiting ( 800GB in iCloud)

Interesting take. Might explain why I've been waiting so long when I've got 1.2TB in there.

Waiting since Monday, 2hrs after release on iphone 17PM. In Canada.

something that may have worked for me is bypassing the waitlist on my Mac and waiting a few hours. It might have been sheer luck though

To everyone here complaining they haven’t been approved yet:

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

You do NOT need a new Apple ID if yours is not from the US. It’s only the Region setting that matters. My Apple ID is not even from an English speaking country nor is my developer account and I still got it.

I’m in the waitlist since Tuesday noon and this morning I bypassed it on my Macbook and got immediate access on the Mac. Still in the waitlist on the iPhone.

Phone is still indexing. (I’ve 170GB in the cloud)

Oh and also: your Media & Purchases Apple ID account is even more irrelevant to your chances of getting on the waitlist or then getting the “New Siri is ready” notification.

I’d guess no because I’ve only got the 5gb and still indexing.

I’m in Canada, my device is set in French but I can enter the wait,it’s. Will I be able to get it without changing anything and will just have Siri in English?

If you can enter the wait then you don’t need to change anything and yes it will be in English only.

To get access to the waiting list, i have to set up my iPhone from French Canadian to English.

Strange because my iPad is set to French Canadian and I could enter the waiting list

I change my language to french canadian on my 17 Pro Max and i can't access to the waiting list, it disappear.

Strange.

EDIT : Reverse back to english (Canada) and the waiting list is back.

 

[chrisy]

I’m still on the waitlist but the Siri app has installed onto Home Screen 🤔

 

[Tyler.Schmaltz]

I signed up Monday at 6PM and got off the waitlist at 3:30pm on Thursday. USA user on a m5 iPad Pro. The iPad is still indexing though.

Many people have said, both are NOT specifically related, many have Siri AI acces and still indexing, but clearly a complete index is required for the Siri AI system to be fully functional.

I lost count of how many hours, but it was Tuesday morning i signed up

 

[jsamuels]

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 in Italy and immediately saw the waitlist option. Been waiting since Tuesday.

Nope - the Region and Appstore only don't matter as long as they aren't EU ... I assume EN will be beneficial as Siri AI is currently only English

Good thing it’s only the first beta. I, on the other hand, am very very impressed by the new Siri from what I’ve seen.

 

[southerndoc]

It's good that there are 3 more months of Beta Testing left, then (Possibly Siri AI will continue as Beta even after that).

The point is that this should not have ever made it out of alpha testing or internal testing. I see they are following the Ubiquiti approach now.
