iPhone 16 Pro failing to install new Siri Beta

Thanks for your post.

Being stuck on "Adding support for Siri is in progress" with the old Siri globe usually indicates that the background download for the on-device AI assets has stalled?

Can you provide screenshots and errors you are receiving? Please keep them save as I think we going to move fast to file a bug for iOS 27 beta 4 in this case.

If your iPhone is running low on space. What’s the free space you have in the device? Do you have a sysdiagnose to check the error in case is storage?

Ensure your iPhone is connected to a strong Wi-Fi network, turn off Low Power Mode if it's on, and plug the device into a charger. Leave it locked and charging for an hour or so?

106 GB available.

screenshots of what specific would help?

phone has been left plugged in asleep overnight attached to a very decent WiFi broadband. I must admit, low power mode is turned on… but not actually “active“ if that makes sense.

@nitram1872 Thanks for the details, I do not see anything that will cause the issue. Maybe we need to go deep in the sysdiagnose to get the reason of the issue. May I ask you to file a bug and attach the sysdiagnose?

Once you open the bug report, please post the FB number here for my reference.

I have given feedback via the iOS feedback app, since I first installed the 2nd Developer beta and found Siri didn’t install. The bug report name and ID number are:

FB23424437 (The new Siri is the old pre-Apple Intelligence version?)

I am, right now, uploading a fresh sysdiagnose file into that specific feedback thread.

Thank you for that. It seems like the team got also you sysdiagnose as well. Keep an eye of the Feedback Assistant and thanks again for providing all that valuable information on this known issue.

So I see the 2nd Public Beta came out today… obviously that’s no step up from last week’s Dev Beta… so I guess I’ll simply just cross my fingers for next Monday?

The Siri update has been stuck for a long time, even though I’m connected to Wi-Fi. I’m having the same issue.

@szrtpc

Thanks for the post. May I ask what beta are you using?

Settings → General → About → and check the Software Version, it'll show something like iOS 27.0 Beta 4.

Then check on Settings → General → Software Update. If a newer iOS 27 beta is available, install it first, you can also go to the developer.apple.com website to download the latest.

Thanks

Its have ios 27 Beta . The update is installing very slowly and has only reached 84%.

Hoping the next Dev Beta is this Monday and that it shifts something. I dunno if I install it while I’m still in this limbo of Siri AI Beta, or whether I turn Siri off and do the install while running the “working” Apple Intelligence version. (Shrugs emoji)

Well, Dev Beta 5 hasn’t turned up as of yet. Dunno if that now means waiting till next Monday or quite what.

I'm tempted to (again) to turn Siri off and on again… to get use of the Apple Intelligence version of Siri if nothing else.

About to try V5… fingers crossed.

I'm having the same issue on iPhone 15 Pro Max, from iOS27 beta 1 through 5. It's been weeks and my phone has been connected to Wi-Fi, has plenty of storage space, and the system and Siri languages match. The same configuration works on my iPad.

I tried turning Siri off and on, reverting to old Siri and back to the beta, restarting my device and updating iOS.

It just says 'Adding support for Siri is in progress'.

I don't have the new Siri app and typing 'siri://' in Safari tells me to download it from the App Store, where it's not available.

I submitted a report in the Feedback app during the previous beta.

@nitram1872 Please report here on your findings. Thanks

Hiya. I have installed iOS 27 Dev 5 on the 16 Pro. It’s been 24hrs since the version 5 install. I am still intentionally on the old Apple Intelligence version of Siri because it says in settings that it’s “optimising search and Siri” and I’d prefer to wait until that’s done, before opting back into the new Siri AI beta.

thus, right now, I don’t know whether the new Siri will or won’t install this time… Yet.

Optimising has disappeared off of settings… so I clicked on the link to try out the new Beta Siri.

I'm back to the message about “Adding support for Siri…” etc.

I’ve updated the original feedback thread: FB23424437 (The new Siri is the old pre-Apple Intelligence version?)
