Just upgraded to the iOS 9 Beta. Is Proactive Assistant part of this? I am not seeing anything and can't find any info online. Thanks for any help!

Which device is it? There are different reasons it may not appear.

It's not an app or something. It's just a feature that shows things on the search page and in notification center etc

I have a 5s, I have everything turned on I am supposed too, have tried resetting multiple times, have given it a full 24 hours on my phone and yet no proactive results on the search page, just blank with the search bar at the top. I have tried everything believe me and nothing so I am at a total loss on how to get things to show up there.

go to Settings -> General -> Spotlight Search, and turn Siri Suggestions off. Reboot, then turn them back on.

Most of Proactive's abilities (searching within Apps and Siri being able to analyze content within an app) won't be functional until iOS 9 launches in the fall.

If you only see the search bar then you need to reset all settings and it will start working. I did the same and I can see the info there now

Tried resetting all settings (which fixed a few other glitches) and disabling, rebooting, and enabling again, and unfortunately none of that did anything--just getting the search bar and that's it.

If you're not being in US like me, you will never see any new search features apart from the Siri Suggestions.

When you swipe left, do you see just the search bar, or do you get the little message underneath it that says "spotlight can now search this that and the other......." if you see that message, you just have to wait for things to show up. If you don't, i fixed it by signing out of iCloud, rebooting, and signing back in again. that seemed to kick it into gear.

Tried all that was suggested above and still no message underneath. Will wait for the patch. In the US, btw.
