To enroll, go to Software Update and tap the prompt at the bottom.

Device region needs to be set to US, language to US English, Siri also needs to be set to US. I was able to join the wait list from Canada after changing all those settings.

If you’re in the EU, Apple has no Intelligence for you.

F that, they indiscriminately collected data from European websites, but still somehow won’t release the feature here. This is absolutely a dick move. I don’t understand how they think this is going to play out, but I can’t imagine it being good for anyone (mostly them).

I actually think this is because they don’t have infrastructure there yet, in addition to it not being GDPR friendly.

I’d probably wait for a wider release than one country & language in beta before assuming the worst.

Also, you’re not missing much. The beta is limited to pretty much just the on-device model for local tasks, and it can barely do those.

Yeah, I know that it’s like and English only, but it sure seems like they’re weaponising it to say „EC is bad”
