Last month, Apple officially kicked off the iOS 18.1 beta with Apple Intelligence, but the support for anticipated features was initially limited to US English only. Early this week, Apple released the second beta of iOS 18.1, expanding access to Apple Intelligence features for English-speaking users in the European Union.
If you reside in the EU, read on to learn how to get access to Apple Intelligence features on your iPhone or iPad in the EU.
Prior to the release of iOS 18.1 beta 2, access to Apple Intelligence features was geo-blocked by Apple in the EU region, due to regulatory concerns related to the Digital Markets Act. The issue didn’t officially get resolved and there’s no information on whether users will gain access to the new features when iOS 18.1 is released in October.
However, there’s a workaround if you have a US App Store ID and reside in the EU, then you can try out the new Apple Intelligence features on your iPhone or iPad.
How to Enable Apple Intelligence on your iPhone or iPad in EU
First things first, you need to update your iPhone or iPad to iOS 18.1 beta 2 or iPadOS 18.1 beta 2, then you can enable the new Apple Intelligence features by following these steps.
Step 1: Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
Step 2: Select General and tap Language & Region.
Step 3: Select Add Language option and choose English (US).
Step 4: Select Region and choose United States.
Step 5: Go back to Settings and Select Apple Intelligence & Siri.
Step 6: Select Language and choose English (United States). Now join the Apple Intelligence Waitlist by tapping the join button.
Step 7: Once your application gets approved, you can return to Apple Intelligence & Siri settings and turn the toggle on.
For the time being, the Apple Intelligence availability is limited to select Apple devices including iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple M1-powered iPads, and Macs. You can check out the complete list of compatible devices on this page and the new Apple Intelligence features here.
