iOS 27 Beta 1: iPhone 17 reverted to Old Siri instead of New Siri.
My phone no longer shows the waitlist for Siri and has the option to "Try New Siri." I select it, continue, continue and the settings change to "Siri (Beta)" and the waitlist option is no longer there, but when using Siri it's the old pre-Apple Intelligence Siri that activates (little bubble at the bottom) and it does not work. Going to Safari and typing "Siri://" opens the New Siri App, but it says "Siri Update in Progress; Adding support for Siri hasn't completed. Open Settings to check the status." The app does not show up in Spotlight. My phone is done Indexing and all signs point to my phone being enrolled to use the New Siri, but it isn't working at all and still has not shown up. I've tried restarting a few times. Anyone experiencing this too?

Siri / Apple Intelligence Stuck on “Adding Support for Siri Is in Progress” — Working Fix After iOS 27 Beta to iOS 27 Release
I want to share a Siri / Apple Intelligence issue I have been troubleshooting since the iOS 27 beta cycle, together with the configuration that finally resolved it. The issue started during iOS 27 beta, continued across multiple beta builds, and was still present after I updated to the official iOS 27 release. Updating iOS alone never fixed it. The main problem was that Siri / Apple Intelligence repeatedly failed to complete activation. Settings would remain stuck on: “Adding support for Siri is in progress” The Siri app would sometimes show: “Siri is not available” Siri also frequently fell back to the older floating-sphere interface instead of using the newer glowing-edge interface. Sometimes the new Siri interface would suddenly appear and work normally, but later it would fall back again. The most repeatable symptom involved charging. When the iPhone was connected to power, Siri sometimes appeared to finish downloading and would temporarily work normally. After disconnecting the charger, Siri could become unavailable again or the system would behave as though Siri resources still needed to be downloaded. Connected to power → Siri sometimes worked normally Disconnected from power → Siri could return to downloading / unavailable There was also a difference between Wi-Fi and cellular data. On cellular data, iOS sometimes said Wi-Fi was required to continue downloading Siri resources. After connecting to Wi-Fi, it would return to “Adding support for Siri is in progress” and still fail to finish. Apple Intelligence storage also behaved abnormally. At one point, iPhone Storage showed approximately 7.37 GB in use. Later, the Apple Intelligence entry disappeared and storage usage decreased, then reappeared after changing language settings. Before finding the working configuration, I had already tried restarting, Reset All Settings, Recovery Mode update, multiple iOS 27 beta builds, the official iOS 27 release, different Wi-Fi networks, cellular data, disabling VPN/proxy, changing languages, removing additional languages, switching between old and new Siri, and leaving the phone on Wi-Fi and power for long periods. None provided a permanent fix. After repeated testing, the issue appeared to involve network transport, routing consistency, Siri language / voice configuration, Siri AI authorization, and local asset refresh. My final working setup was: System language: English (United States) Region: United States Siri language: English (United States) Siri voice: American Apple Intelligence enabled Proxy environment: Shadowrocket Proxy transport My proxy node uses an AnyTLS-based configuration. Previously, UDP traffic was enabled. During troubleshooting, some Apple / iCloud requests appeared unreliable when using UDP / QUIC through this node, with timeouts, resets, or repeated retries. I changed the node transport to TCP only while keeping TLS enabled: TCP + TLS After this change, Apple-related authentication and asset requests appeared much more stable. Routing rules This was one of the most important changes. I use split tunneling so that Chinese apps can remain DIRECT while selected traffic uses the proxy. However, some Apple traffic was being matched by broader fallback rules such as: apple.com,DIRECT GEOIP,CN,DIRECT This meant some Siri / iCloud / Apple Intelligence requests could use the proxy while related requests went directly through the local connection. I added these high-priority rules and moved them above broader Apple / DIRECT / GEOIP rules: DOMAIN-KEYWORD,gateway,PROXY DOMAIN-KEYWORD,probe,PROXY DOMAIN-KEYWORD,gdmf,PROXY DOMAIN-KEYWORD,guzzoni,PROXY DOMAIN-SUFFIX,iphone-ld.apple.com,PROXY Rule priority was important. If broader DIRECT rules were above these entries, the specific traffic could still bypass the proxy. After moving these rules to the top, the relevant Apple traffic consistently followed the same network path. Split tunneling still worked normally, and apps such as WeChat, Alipay, Meituan, and Xiaohongshu could remain DIRECT. Language and Siri configuration I standardized the Siri environment: System Language: English (United States) Region: United States Siri Language: English (United States) Siri Voice: American I selected an American Siri voice, such as Voice 4. After changing everything to the same English (US) environment, asset loading became more consistent. Enable Siri AI I manually selected: Try Siri AI (Beta) and completed the authorization process. I also temporarily disabled “Require Face ID” for the standalone Siri app while troubleshooting. I cannot confirm that this directly affected the download, but it removed an extra authentication layer while testing. Refresh local language assets I opened Apple’s built-in Translate app, deleted the downloaded English (US) language package, and downloaded it again. My goal was to refresh the local language / MobileAsset download state. I cannot confirm that Translate directly controls Siri’s generative models, but this appeared to help clear the remaining stuck asset state. Final installation step After making all of the above changes, I connected the iPhone to Wi-Fi and power, locked the screen, and left the device idle for approximately 10–15 minutes. After this, the Siri / Apple Intelligence state finally changed and remained stable. Current result: Siri consistently uses the full-screen glowing-edge interface Type to Siri works correctly Siri no longer falls back to the legacy floating-sphere interface “Siri is not available” no longer appears “Adding support for Siri is in progress” is no longer permanently stuck Apple Intelligence remains active Siri continues working after disconnecting the charger Split tunneling still works normally Most importantly, the previous charging-related behavior is gone. Before: Connected to power → Siri temporarily worked Disconnected from power → Siri failed again Now: Siri continues to work normally whether or not the device is connected to power. I am not claiming that Apple has officially documented every domain or internal process above as the root cause. These findings are based on repeated troubleshooting and network behavior observed on my own device. However, this issue persisted from the iOS 27 beta cycle through the official iOS 27 release, and standard system updates alone did not resolve it. In my case, the successful fix only came after correcting the combination of: TCP transport + consistent Apple routing + English (US) system / Siri configuration + Siri AI authorization + local asset refresh. If anyone else is experiencing “Adding support for Siri is in progress,” “Siri is not available,” repeated fallback to the legacy Siri UI, Apple Intelligence storage disappearing / reappearing, or Siri working while charging but failing after unplugging, I would be interested to know whether the same configuration also resolves the issue on other devices.

iPhone 16 Pro failing to install new Siri Beta
I am currently on Apple's Dev Beta V4 for iOS 27. The first version I installed was the Dev Beta V2, I am desperate to try out the new Siri AI Beta, but it's just not installing for me. I have the ability to "turn siri off" then "on again" and find I get the 2024 Apple Intelligence version fine. But if I choose to try out the new AI Beta, I'm left with "Adding support for Siri is in progress. Siri will be unavailable until the update is complete." It's been in that state for over 48 hours in Beta 4 and I'm left with the OLD OLD Siri globe from pre-Apple intelligence. Am I being too keen and just not leaving it long enough? Or is there a genuine issue at Apple's end, in regard to getting the new Siri to actually fully install?

JEV
(I don't follow the AI stuff here, so sorry if this is a stupid question. Or the wrong category.) There is a new fangled AI mode called JEV. Can the current Apple Intelligence libraries do something like it, or is this a WWDC27 thing?

PrivateCloudComputeLanguageModel — session.respond hangs for minutes then throws FoundationModels.LanguageModelError -1 wrapping GenerativeFunctionsFoundation.GenerativeError 5040000 (macOS app, not a simulator)
I'm trying to add Private Cloud Compute support to a macOS app and can't get session.respond to succeed. Every call — even a trivial one-line prompt — hangs for one to several minutes ("Thinking" in my UI) and then fails. My setup: macOS 27.2 beta on an M2 MBP Xcode 27.2 The Private Cloud Compute capability is added in Signing & Capabilities, and com.apple.developer.private-cloud-compute is present in the built app's entitlements Removing the entitlement produces the expected error at construction ("Missing entitlement: com.appledeveloper.private-cloud-compute"), confirming it's genuinely being read PrivateCloudComputeLanguageModel().availability reports .available Apple Intelligence is enabled, I'm signed into iCloud with an eligible account/region, and system language is English The failure reproduces with zero tools registered on the session, and with a single isolated request. Relevant code: swift let model = PrivateCloudComputeLanguageModel() let session = LanguageModelSession(model: model, instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.") let result = try await session.respond(to: "What is 17+10?") The error, in full, after several minutes: Error Domain=FoundationModels.LanguageModelError Code=-1 "The operation couldn't be completed. (FoundationModels.LanguageModelError error -1.)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The operation couldn't be completed. (FoundationModels.LanguageModelError error -1.), NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=( "Error Domain=FoundationModels.LanguageModelError Code=-1 "(null)" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=(\n "Error Domain=com.apple.GenerativeFunctionsFoundation.GenerativeError Code=5040000 \"(null)\" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=(\n)}"\n)}" )} Questions: Is this a known issue with Private Cloud Compute for macOS apps at this point in the beta? Does GenerativeFunctionsFoundation.GenerativeError code 5040000 mean anything specific — a connectivity failure, a capacity/availability issue, something else? Is there a way to get more diagnostic detail than this generic top-level error — a specific log subsystem to check in Console, for instance? Any guidance appreciated — happy to provide a full sysdiagnose or additional repro detail if useful.

Siri AI (2.0) in MacOS 27 RC - Ends Conversations
While I am liking Siri AI I find that it sometimes will just end a conversation. I can be going back and forth on a topic, and suddenly the input field is gone, and at the bottom of the window it says "Siri ended the conversation". Why does it do this? Once it has, the conversation is just an archive, there is no way to continue the conversation. Starting a new conversation of course forgets everything that came earlier so is pretty useless. I can not understand why Apple would make it work this way. The end point seems random, sometimes it is very quickly after a conversation starts, sometimes it never happens even after days go by.

iOS 27 beta 3/4: Siri AI never enrolls
Device: iPhone 15 Pro iOS: 27.0 beta 4 (same issue on beta 3) Related Feedback: FB23788932, FB23961529 (both marked "More than 10 similar reports", still Open) Siri AI / Apple Intelligence never activate. Extensive testing rules out account/region as the cause — this looks like a broken asset delivery / enrollment pipeline. Symptoms: Console (subsystem com.apple.GenerativeModels) shows repeated calls: isUseCaseAccessNotGrantedSecure: user=501, input=["com.apple.Siri.EnhancedSiriDisablement"] isUseCaseAccessNotGrantedSecure: returning granted (false); no pendingEnrollment for any of [...] ["com.apple.Siri.EnhancedSiriDisablement"] -> false This is consistent across hundreds of calls — the system never attempts enrollment, it just returns false immediately, every time. Settings > General > iPhone Storage shows 3.38GB already allocated to "Apple Intelligence," but the feature never activates — suggesting an incomplete/corrupted asset set rather than missing data entirely. Toggling Wi-Fi off prompts a ~9.5GB "intelligence tools" download. Confirming it produces no progress and no result. Siri language pack downloads get stuck at 100% and never proceed to activation. Search and Siri Suggestions indexing (Settings > Siri & Search) initially shows no percentage, disappears, then reappears days later with a percentage stuck for 24+ hours despite "Last updated: X minutes ago" continuing to refresh — suggesting the background worker is alive but stuck, possibly hitting the same broken asset service. Region-dependent behavior (most useful clue): in a region NOT eligible for Siri AI (Ukraine), legacy Siri (old interface) responds normally to "Hey Siri." In a region eligible for Siri AI (US — tested with a brand-new Apple Account, region set to US, no data restored from backup), "Hey Siri" activates (wake word detection works) but the request hangs indefinitely with no response, and legacy Siri does not answer either. This suggests the system correctly detects eligibility, but there is no fallback to the legacy Siri response pipeline when the region is eligible yet the new Foundation Models assets fail to finish downloading/activating. Already tried (no effect on any of these): Reset Network Settings Reset All Settings Multiple restarts, multiple Wi-Fi networks, cellular data Changing device Language & Region to US Fresh Apple Account created with US region, Payment Method: None, signed in clean (no backup restore) — identical isUseCaseAccessNotGrantedSecure: false result, legacy Siri also silent under this account Steps to reproduce: Update iPhone 15 Pro to iOS 27 beta 3 or 4 via Software Update (not clean install). Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri — no functional enrollment progress. Toggle Wi-Fi off — download prompt appears, confirming does nothing. Say "Hey Siri" — activates, no response. Has anyone else on iPhone 15 Pro hit this specific isUseCaseAccessNotGrantedSecure / no pendingEnrollment pattern? Any word on whether this is a known/tracked issue for beta 5?

Siri AI + Schema .system.open
Since iOS 18, I have an OpenIntent to open documents. For Siri AI, I understood that I need to annotate the entity with @AppIntent(schema: .system.open) for Siri AI to be able to open documents. This is only supported starting with iOS 27. I tried duplicating the intent (one for iOS 27, one for the other versions), however, Xcode complains and says that only one OpenIntent is possible per target entity. How are we supposed to: support Siri AI "open" functionality preserve functionality for older iOS versions ? Thank you

Siri shows contextual and “Siri AI” behaviour independently of Apple Intelligence activation on iOS 27 beta
Environment iOS 27 Developer Beta iPhone17,3 Siri language: English Apple Intelligence availability/configuration differs depending on account/region state Observed behaviour Siri appears to expose behaviours normally associated with the newer intelligence architecture even when the Apple Intelligence experience is not fully enabled. Examples observed include: contextual follow-up questions across multiple turns; responses maintaining the subject of the previous request; different Siri visual/pulsing states depending on input; ChatGPT hand-off through Siri while preserving the original request; UI/settings references related to newer Siri intelligence capabilities; changes in Siri-related UI depending on Apple Account configuration. Reproduction example Invoke Siri. Ask a location/weather question. Ask follow-up questions without repeating the location or subject. Siri continues using the previous conversational context. Similar continuity can be observed across other queries. I have also observed differences in Siri UI and available settings after changing Apple Account configuration, while remaining on the same device and OS build. Question Is the contextual Siri architecture being deployed independently from the full Apple Intelligence feature set in iOS 27, or is this behaviour expected as part of the current beta implementation? I am particularly interested in understanding whether Siri’s contextual/runtime components and Apple Intelligence availability are now intentionally decoupled.

iPadOS 27 Beta — Siri AI overlay causes no Scene lifecycle callbacks, starves BT data processing threads
Environment: iPadOS 27 Beta (Developer Beta) iPad with Bluetooth Classic (iAP2/ExternalAccessory) + BLE active session App uses UIKit, WKWebView, scene-based lifecycle Problem: When the user invokes the new Siri AI by long-pressing the power button while our app is in the foreground with an active Bluetooth Classic session, we observe: No scene lifecycle callbacks fire — no sceneWillResignActive, no sceneDidEnterBackground, nothing. We confirmed by logging every UISceneDelegate method. Main thread / data processing threads are starved for ~2 seconds, causing a backlog of incoming Bluetooth data. Our real-time data processing latency jumps from ~105ms to over 2,300ms within 2 seconds of Siri activation. CADisplayLink / requestAnimationFrame callbacks show a ~935ms gap coinciding with the Siri overlay appearance, then irregular intervals afterward. The Bluetooth Classic transport (ExternalAccessory/iAP2) remains physically connected throughout — the issue is purely host-side processing starvation. What we've ruled out: BLE link degradation: firmware-side diagnostics confirm 100% data delivery, 0 lost packets during the incident Memory pressure from our app: our process memory stays flat; system-available memory drops ~14 units externally Questions: Is the absence of sceneWillResignActive when Siri AI activates on iPadOS 27 intended behavior, or a beta bug? The new UIApplication.systemPrefersReducedResourceUsage property (iPadOS 27 beta) — is this intended to signal system overlays like Siri consuming resources? Does the corresponding systemPrefersReducedResourceUsageDidChangeNotification fire when Siri activates? Are there recommended patterns for apps with real-time Bluetooth data processing to maintain thread priority during system overlays? We currently use default QoS for our data processing dispatch queues. The processing starvation causes the waveform display to degrade (appears as a connectivity issue to the clinician) even though the wireless link is healthy. We need either: A notification that a system overlay is active, so we can adjust our UI accordingly Guidance on maintaining processing priority during Siri AI activation Any community insight on workarounds would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

The new beta Siri disappeared
I've already used the new Siri for a few weeks but now it disappeared. The Siri app still exists but cannot use. Currently the Siri is the original Apple Intelligence. I went to Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, Siri, and the Siri AI (Beta) is grey cannot choose. Anyone knows how to fix it?

Pre-Effectuation Execution Finality for Siri and App Intents
I would like to discuss a possible security architecture for Siri, Apple Intelligence, and App Intents where permission to invoke an app action is separated from permission for that specific action to become externally effective. For low-risk actions, existing authorization may be sufficient. However, for higher-consequence actions—such as payments, file export, message transmission, account changes, device control, or other irreversible operations—there may be value in introducing an additional execution-finality boundary. Problem Space An AI assistant may be authorized to invoke an App Intent, but that does not necessarily mean every resulting action should immediately become effective. For example: Siri may be allowed to invoke a payment-related intent, but not every amount or recipient should necessarily be executable. An app may expose a file-sharing intent, but a particular file or destination may fall outside the permitted scope. An AI-generated message may be validly created, but its final transmission may require additional execution-specific validation. Context, permission, destination, revocation state, or security state may change between intent generation and actual execution. The proposed distinction is: Permission to invoke an App Intent versus Permission for the specific resulting act to become externally effective Proposed Architecture A high-consequence action could first become a Candidate Act and remain in a Non-Effective State. Conceptually: Siri / Apple Intelligence ↓ App Intent ↓ Candidate Act ↓ Non-Effective State ↓ Protected Validation ↓ Scoped Execution Authority ↓ Finality Sink Verification ↓ External Effect If validation fails, expires, is revoked, is replayed, or becomes ambiguous: Default Denial → No External Effect Short Definitions Candidate Act The specific operation proposed by Siri, Apple Intelligence, or an app before it is allowed to create an external consequence. Non-Effective State A state in which the operation may be prepared, inspected, or evaluated but cannot yet produce its intended external effect. Protected Validation A validation step checking execution-relevant conditions such as app identity, user authorization, purpose, destination, scope, freshness, limits, revocation state, or device security state. Scoped Execution Authority Authority limited to the specific validated action rather than a broadly reusable permission. Finality Sink The consequence boundary where the action becomes externally effective—for example, a network transmission, file release, payment commit, database change, or physical-device action. Why This Could Be Useful This architecture could provide: separation of AI decision-making from final execution authority; fail-closed behavior for invalid or uncertain actions; resistance to replay or stale authorization; action-specific rather than broadly reusable authority; validation closer to the actual consequence boundary; stronger control for increasingly autonomous AI workflows. This would be intended as an optional mechanism for higher-consequence actions, not as a replacement for App Intents, existing user authorization, entitlements, sandboxing, or other Apple security mechanisms. Possible Interoperability Relevance This question may also become relevant as operating-system interoperability requirements evolve, including in the European Union under the Digital Markets Act. As third-party AI assistants and services gain deeper interoperability with operating-system features, there may be a need to distinguish between allowing an interoperating service to request an action and allowing that specific action to cross the final consequence boundary. A device-side execution-finality mechanism could potentially provide a technical middle layer: third-party AI services could request interoperable actions, while the operating system retains a neutral protected mechanism for validating the specific action immediately before it becomes externally effective. This may help explore how broader interoperability and strong device-side security could coexist without requiring unrestricted execution authority for either first-party or third-party AI assistants. I would be interested in whether Apple considers this type of consequence-boundary enforcement compatible with existing or future App Intents and interoperability architectures. Questions for Apple Engineers and Developers Does App Intents currently provide a supported mechanism for maintaining an action in a non-effective state until execution-specific authorization is verified? Where would Apple consider the correct enforcement point for such validation: App Intents, the host application, an OS-mediated service, or the actual consequence boundary? Is there an existing Apple framework or security primitive intended to provide this kind of action-specific, pre-effectuation execution authority? Would this model be relevant as Siri and Apple Intelligence gain the ability to perform more cross-app and agentic actions? Could an OS-mediated finality mechanism also provide a common security boundary for first-party and interoperating third-party AI assistants? I am particularly interested in understanding whether this should be considered an App Intents implementation pattern, an operating-system security concern, or a broader architectural mechanism for secure AI interoperability.

Can I prevent Siri from "seeing" specific parts of my app?
Let's say my app is a password or other type of secret manager, which means it can display highly sensitive data to the user. If Siri summarize whats on screen, it would then be able to "see" that sensitive data and transmit it off device in a way the user might not expect nor want. Is there a way that I can prevent this by marking specific views in an app as sensitive, or detect if Siri is analyzing the contents of the apps screen? The .privacySensitive() modifier and @Environment(\.isSceneCaptured) environment variable do not seem to apply in this case.

Siri AI broken
Hi everyone, I’m testing the latest iOS 27 beta and I’ve noticed an issue with the new Siri. When I ask very simple questions that should be handled locally or through basic reasoning, Siri consistently responds with: “Uh oh, something went wrong.” For example, asking: “When is the next Friday the 13th?” results in the error message instead of an answer. I’ve reproduced this multiple times and it seems to happen with other straightforward informational queries as well. I’ve already tried restarting the device and checking my network connection, but the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced this behavior with the new Siri in the iOS 27 beta? If so, were you able to find a workaround or identify what’s causing it? Any help or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

iOS 27 Beta 1: iPhone 17 reverted to Old Siri instead of New Siri.
My phone no longer shows the waitlist for Siri and has the option to "Try New Siri." I select it, continue, continue and the settings change to "Siri (Beta)" and the waitlist option is no longer there, but when using Siri it's the old pre-Apple Intelligence Siri that activates (little bubble at the bottom) and it does not work. Going to Safari and typing "Siri://" opens the New Siri App, but it says "Siri Update in Progress; Adding support for Siri hasn't completed. Open Settings to check the status." The app does not show up in Spotlight. My phone is done Indexing and all signs point to my phone being enrolled to use the New Siri, but it isn't working at all and still has not shown up. I've tried restarting a few times. Anyone experiencing this too?

Siri / Apple Intelligence Stuck on “Adding Support for Siri Is in Progress” — Working Fix After iOS 27 Beta to iOS 27 Release
I want to share a Siri / Apple Intelligence issue I have been troubleshooting since the iOS 27 beta cycle, together with the configuration that finally resolved it. The issue started during iOS 27 beta, continued across multiple beta builds, and was still present after I updated to the official iOS 27 release. Updating iOS alone never fixed it. The main problem was that Siri / Apple Intelligence repeatedly failed to complete activation. Settings would remain stuck on: “Adding support for Siri is in progress” The Siri app would sometimes show: “Siri is not available” Siri also frequently fell back to the older floating-sphere interface instead of using the newer glowing-edge interface. Sometimes the new Siri interface would suddenly appear and work normally, but later it would fall back again. The most repeatable symptom involved charging. When the iPhone was connected to power, Siri sometimes appeared to finish downloading and would temporarily work normally. After disconnecting the charger, Siri could become unavailable again or the system would behave as though Siri resources still needed to be downloaded. Connected to power → Siri sometimes worked normally Disconnected from power → Siri could return to downloading / unavailable There was also a difference between Wi-Fi and cellular data. On cellular data, iOS sometimes said Wi-Fi was required to continue downloading Siri resources. After connecting to Wi-Fi, it would return to “Adding support for Siri is in progress” and still fail to finish. Apple Intelligence storage also behaved abnormally. At one point, iPhone Storage showed approximately 7.37 GB in use. Later, the Apple Intelligence entry disappeared and storage usage decreased, then reappeared after changing language settings. Before finding the working configuration, I had already tried restarting, Reset All Settings, Recovery Mode update, multiple iOS 27 beta builds, the official iOS 27 release, different Wi-Fi networks, cellular data, disabling VPN/proxy, changing languages, removing additional languages, switching between old and new Siri, and leaving the phone on Wi-Fi and power for long periods. None provided a permanent fix. After repeated testing, the issue appeared to involve network transport, routing consistency, Siri language / voice configuration, Siri AI authorization, and local asset refresh. My final working setup was: System language: English (United States) Region: United States Siri language: English (United States) Siri voice: American Apple Intelligence enabled Proxy environment: Shadowrocket Proxy transport My proxy node uses an AnyTLS-based configuration. Previously, UDP traffic was enabled. During troubleshooting, some Apple / iCloud requests appeared unreliable when using UDP / QUIC through this node, with timeouts, resets, or repeated retries. I changed the node transport to TCP only while keeping TLS enabled: TCP + TLS After this change, Apple-related authentication and asset requests appeared much more stable. Routing rules This was one of the most important changes. I use split tunneling so that Chinese apps can remain DIRECT while selected traffic uses the proxy. However, some Apple traffic was being matched by broader fallback rules such as: apple.com,DIRECT GEOIP,CN,DIRECT This meant some Siri / iCloud / Apple Intelligence requests could use the proxy while related requests went directly through the local connection. I added these high-priority rules and moved them above broader Apple / DIRECT / GEOIP rules: DOMAIN-KEYWORD,gateway,PROXY DOMAIN-KEYWORD,probe,PROXY DOMAIN-KEYWORD,gdmf,PROXY DOMAIN-KEYWORD,guzzoni,PROXY DOMAIN-SUFFIX,iphone-ld.apple.com,PROXY Rule priority was important. If broader DIRECT rules were above these entries, the specific traffic could still bypass the proxy. After moving these rules to the top, the relevant Apple traffic consistently followed the same network path. Split tunneling still worked normally, and apps such as WeChat, Alipay, Meituan, and Xiaohongshu could remain DIRECT. Language and Siri configuration I standardized the Siri environment: System Language: English (United States) Region: United States Siri Language: English (United States) Siri Voice: American I selected an American Siri voice, such as Voice 4. After changing everything to the same English (US) environment, asset loading became more consistent. Enable Siri AI I manually selected: Try Siri AI (Beta) and completed the authorization process. I also temporarily disabled “Require Face ID” for the standalone Siri app while troubleshooting. I cannot confirm that this directly affected the download, but it removed an extra authentication layer while testing. Refresh local language assets I opened Apple’s built-in Translate app, deleted the downloaded English (US) language package, and downloaded it again. My goal was to refresh the local language / MobileAsset download state. I cannot confirm that Translate directly controls Siri’s generative models, but this appeared to help clear the remaining stuck asset state. Final installation step After making all of the above changes, I connected the iPhone to Wi-Fi and power, locked the screen, and left the device idle for approximately 10–15 minutes. After this, the Siri / Apple Intelligence state finally changed and remained stable. Current result: Siri consistently uses the full-screen glowing-edge interface Type to Siri works correctly Siri no longer falls back to the legacy floating-sphere interface “Siri is not available” no longer appears “Adding support for Siri is in progress” is no longer permanently stuck Apple Intelligence remains active Siri continues working after disconnecting the charger Split tunneling still works normally Most importantly, the previous charging-related behavior is gone. Before: Connected to power → Siri temporarily worked Disconnected from power → Siri failed again Now: Siri continues to work normally whether or not the device is connected to power. I am not claiming that Apple has officially documented every domain or internal process above as the root cause. These findings are based on repeated troubleshooting and network behavior observed on my own device. However, this issue persisted from the iOS 27 beta cycle through the official iOS 27 release, and standard system updates alone did not resolve it. In my case, the successful fix only came after correcting the combination of: TCP transport + consistent Apple routing + English (US) system / Siri configuration + Siri AI authorization + local asset refresh. If anyone else is experiencing “Adding support for Siri is in progress,” “Siri is not available,” repeated fallback to the legacy Siri UI, Apple Intelligence storage disappearing / reappearing, or Siri working while charging but failing after unplugging, I would be interested to know whether the same configuration also resolves the issue on other devices.

iPhone 16 Pro failing to install new Siri Beta
I am currently on Apple's Dev Beta V4 for iOS 27. The first version I installed was the Dev Beta V2, I am desperate to try out the new Siri AI Beta, but it's just not installing for me. I have the ability to "turn siri off" then "on again" and find I get the 2024 Apple Intelligence version fine. But if I choose to try out the new AI Beta, I'm left with "Adding support for Siri is in progress. Siri will be unavailable until the update is complete." It's been in that state for over 48 hours in Beta 4 and I'm left with the OLD OLD Siri globe from pre-Apple intelligence. Am I being too keen and just not leaving it long enough? Or is there a genuine issue at Apple's end, in regard to getting the new Siri to actually fully install?

JEV
(I don't follow the AI stuff here, so sorry if this is a stupid question. Or the wrong category.) There is a new fangled AI mode called JEV. Can the current Apple Intelligence libraries do something like it, or is this a WWDC27 thing?

Why don't CH/A devices have Apple Intelligence, and when will it arrive?
Why don't CH/A devices have Apple Intelligence, and when will it arrive? It’s a major issue because the demographic that uses those devices—and the demographic capable of buying an iPhone—is massive, yet the lack of artificial intelligence is what prevents them from making the purchase.

PrivateCloudComputeLanguageModel — session.respond hangs for minutes then throws FoundationModels.LanguageModelError -1 wrapping GenerativeFunctionsFoundation.GenerativeError 5040000 (macOS app, not a simulator)
I'm trying to add Private Cloud Compute support to a macOS app and can't get session.respond to succeed. Every call — even a trivial one-line prompt — hangs for one to several minutes ("Thinking" in my UI) and then fails. My setup: macOS 27.2 beta on an M2 MBP Xcode 27.2 The Private Cloud Compute capability is added in Signing & Capabilities, and com.apple.developer.private-cloud-compute is present in the built app's entitlements Removing the entitlement produces the expected error at construction ("Missing entitlement: com.appledeveloper.private-cloud-compute"), confirming it's genuinely being read PrivateCloudComputeLanguageModel().availability reports .available Apple Intelligence is enabled, I'm signed into iCloud with an eligible account/region, and system language is English The failure reproduces with zero tools registered on the session, and with a single isolated request. Relevant code: swift let model = PrivateCloudComputeLanguageModel() let session = LanguageModelSession(model: model, instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.") let result = try await session.respond(to: "What is 17+10?") The error, in full, after several minutes: Error Domain=FoundationModels.LanguageModelError Code=-1 "The operation couldn't be completed. (FoundationModels.LanguageModelError error -1.)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The operation couldn't be completed. (FoundationModels.LanguageModelError error -1.), NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=( "Error Domain=FoundationModels.LanguageModelError Code=-1 "(null)" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=(\n "Error Domain=com.apple.GenerativeFunctionsFoundation.GenerativeError Code=5040000 \"(null)\" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=(\n)}"\n)}" )} Questions: Is this a known issue with Private Cloud Compute for macOS apps at this point in the beta? Does GenerativeFunctionsFoundation.GenerativeError code 5040000 mean anything specific — a connectivity failure, a capacity/availability issue, something else? Is there a way to get more diagnostic detail than this generic top-level error — a specific log subsystem to check in Console, for instance? Any guidance appreciated — happy to provide a full sysdiagnose or additional repro detail if useful.

Siri AI (2.0) in MacOS 27 RC - Ends Conversations
While I am liking Siri AI I find that it sometimes will just end a conversation. I can be going back and forth on a topic, and suddenly the input field is gone, and at the bottom of the window it says "Siri ended the conversation". Why does it do this? Once it has, the conversation is just an archive, there is no way to continue the conversation. Starting a new conversation of course forgets everything that came earlier so is pretty useless. I can not understand why Apple would make it work this way. The end point seems random, sometimes it is very quickly after a conversation starts, sometimes it never happens even after days go by.

iOS 27 beta 3/4: Siri AI never enrolls
Device: iPhone 15 Pro iOS: 27.0 beta 4 (same issue on beta 3) Related Feedback: FB23788932, FB23961529 (both marked "More than 10 similar reports", still Open) Siri AI / Apple Intelligence never activate. Extensive testing rules out account/region as the cause — this looks like a broken asset delivery / enrollment pipeline. Symptoms: Console (subsystem com.apple.GenerativeModels) shows repeated calls: isUseCaseAccessNotGrantedSecure: user=501, input=["com.apple.Siri.EnhancedSiriDisablement"] isUseCaseAccessNotGrantedSecure: returning granted (false); no pendingEnrollment for any of [...] ["com.apple.Siri.EnhancedSiriDisablement"] -> false This is consistent across hundreds of calls — the system never attempts enrollment, it just returns false immediately, every time. Settings > General > iPhone Storage shows 3.38GB already allocated to "Apple Intelligence," but the feature never activates — suggesting an incomplete/corrupted asset set rather than missing data entirely. Toggling Wi-Fi off prompts a ~9.5GB "intelligence tools" download. Confirming it produces no progress and no result. Siri language pack downloads get stuck at 100% and never proceed to activation. Search and Siri Suggestions indexing (Settings > Siri & Search) initially shows no percentage, disappears, then reappears days later with a percentage stuck for 24+ hours despite "Last updated: X minutes ago" continuing to refresh — suggesting the background worker is alive but stuck, possibly hitting the same broken asset service. Region-dependent behavior (most useful clue): in a region NOT eligible for Siri AI (Ukraine), legacy Siri (old interface) responds normally to "Hey Siri." In a region eligible for Siri AI (US — tested with a brand-new Apple Account, region set to US, no data restored from backup), "Hey Siri" activates (wake word detection works) but the request hangs indefinitely with no response, and legacy Siri does not answer either. This suggests the system correctly detects eligibility, but there is no fallback to the legacy Siri response pipeline when the region is eligible yet the new Foundation Models assets fail to finish downloading/activating. Already tried (no effect on any of these): Reset Network Settings Reset All Settings Multiple restarts, multiple Wi-Fi networks, cellular data Changing device Language & Region to US Fresh Apple Account created with US region, Payment Method: None, signed in clean (no backup restore) — identical isUseCaseAccessNotGrantedSecure: false result, legacy Siri also silent under this account Steps to reproduce: Update iPhone 15 Pro to iOS 27 beta 3 or 4 via Software Update (not clean install). Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri — no functional enrollment progress. Toggle Wi-Fi off — download prompt appears, confirming does nothing. Say "Hey Siri" — activates, no response. Has anyone else on iPhone 15 Pro hit this specific isUseCaseAccessNotGrantedSecure / no pendingEnrollment pattern? Any word on whether this is a known/tracked issue for beta 5?

Siri AI + Schema .system.open
Since iOS 18, I have an OpenIntent to open documents. For Siri AI, I understood that I need to annotate the entity with @AppIntent(schema: .system.open) for Siri AI to be able to open documents. This is only supported starting with iOS 27. I tried duplicating the intent (one for iOS 27, one for the other versions), however, Xcode complains and says that only one OpenIntent is possible per target entity. How are we supposed to: support Siri AI "open" functionality preserve functionality for older iOS versions ? Thank you

Siri shows contextual and “Siri AI” behaviour independently of Apple Intelligence activation on iOS 27 beta
Environment iOS 27 Developer Beta iPhone17,3 Siri language: English Apple Intelligence availability/configuration differs depending on account/region state Observed behaviour Siri appears to expose behaviours normally associated with the newer intelligence architecture even when the Apple Intelligence experience is not fully enabled. Examples observed include: contextual follow-up questions across multiple turns; responses maintaining the subject of the previous request; different Siri visual/pulsing states depending on input; ChatGPT hand-off through Siri while preserving the original request; UI/settings references related to newer Siri intelligence capabilities; changes in Siri-related UI depending on Apple Account configuration. Reproduction example Invoke Siri. Ask a location/weather question. Ask follow-up questions without repeating the location or subject. Siri continues using the previous conversational context. Similar continuity can be observed across other queries. I have also observed differences in Siri UI and available settings after changing Apple Account configuration, while remaining on the same device and OS build. Question Is the contextual Siri architecture being deployed independently from the full Apple Intelligence feature set in iOS 27, or is this behaviour expected as part of the current beta implementation? I am particularly interested in understanding whether Siri’s contextual/runtime components and Apple Intelligence availability are now intentionally decoupled.

iPadOS 27 Beta — Siri AI overlay causes no Scene lifecycle callbacks, starves BT data processing threads
Environment: iPadOS 27 Beta (Developer Beta) iPad with Bluetooth Classic (iAP2/ExternalAccessory) + BLE active session App uses UIKit, WKWebView, scene-based lifecycle Problem: When the user invokes the new Siri AI by long-pressing the power button while our app is in the foreground with an active Bluetooth Classic session, we observe: No scene lifecycle callbacks fire — no sceneWillResignActive, no sceneDidEnterBackground, nothing. We confirmed by logging every UISceneDelegate method. Main thread / data processing threads are starved for ~2 seconds, causing a backlog of incoming Bluetooth data. Our real-time data processing latency jumps from ~105ms to over 2,300ms within 2 seconds of Siri activation. CADisplayLink / requestAnimationFrame callbacks show a ~935ms gap coinciding with the Siri overlay appearance, then irregular intervals afterward. The Bluetooth Classic transport (ExternalAccessory/iAP2) remains physically connected throughout — the issue is purely host-side processing starvation. What we've ruled out: BLE link degradation: firmware-side diagnostics confirm 100% data delivery, 0 lost packets during the incident Memory pressure from our app: our process memory stays flat; system-available memory drops ~14 units externally Questions: Is the absence of sceneWillResignActive when Siri AI activates on iPadOS 27 intended behavior, or a beta bug? The new UIApplication.systemPrefersReducedResourceUsage property (iPadOS 27 beta) — is this intended to signal system overlays like Siri consuming resources? Does the corresponding systemPrefersReducedResourceUsageDidChangeNotification fire when Siri activates? Are there recommended patterns for apps with real-time Bluetooth data processing to maintain thread priority during system overlays? We currently use default QoS for our data processing dispatch queues. The processing starvation causes the waveform display to degrade (appears as a connectivity issue to the clinician) even though the wireless link is healthy. We need either: A notification that a system overlay is active, so we can adjust our UI accordingly Guidance on maintaining processing priority during Siri AI activation Any community insight on workarounds would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Pre-Effectuation Execution Finality for Siri and App Intents
I would like to discuss a possible security architecture for Siri, Apple Intelligence, and App Intents where permission to invoke an app action is separated from permission for that specific action to become externally effective. For low-risk actions, existing authorization may be sufficient. However, for higher-consequence actions—such as payments, file export, message transmission, account changes, device control, or other irreversible operations—there may be value in introducing an additional execution-finality boundary. Problem Space An AI assistant may be authorized to invoke an App Intent, but that does not necessarily mean every resulting action should immediately become effective. For example: Siri may be allowed to invoke a payment-related intent, but not every amount or recipient should necessarily be executable. An app may expose a file-sharing intent, but a particular file or destination may fall outside the permitted scope. An AI-generated message may be validly created, but its final transmission may require additional execution-specific validation. Context, permission, destination, revocation state, or security state may change between intent generation and actual execution. The proposed distinction is: Permission to invoke an App Intent versus Permission for the specific resulting act to become externally effective Proposed Architecture A high-consequence action could first become a Candidate Act and remain in a Non-Effective State. Conceptually: Siri / Apple Intelligence ↓ App Intent ↓ Candidate Act ↓ Non-Effective State ↓ Protected Validation ↓ Scoped Execution Authority ↓ Finality Sink Verification ↓ External Effect If validation fails, expires, is revoked, is replayed, or becomes ambiguous: Default Denial → No External Effect Short Definitions Candidate Act The specific operation proposed by Siri, Apple Intelligence, or an app before it is allowed to create an external consequence. Non-Effective State A state in which the operation may be prepared, inspected, or evaluated but cannot yet produce its intended external effect. Protected Validation A validation step checking execution-relevant conditions such as app identity, user authorization, purpose, destination, scope, freshness, limits, revocation state, or device security state. Scoped Execution Authority Authority limited to the specific validated action rather than a broadly reusable permission. Finality Sink The consequence boundary where the action becomes externally effective—for example, a network transmission, file release, payment commit, database change, or physical-device action. Why This Could Be Useful This architecture could provide: separation of AI decision-making from final execution authority; fail-closed behavior for invalid or uncertain actions; resistance to replay or stale authorization; action-specific rather than broadly reusable authority; validation closer to the actual consequence boundary; stronger control for increasingly autonomous AI workflows. This would be intended as an optional mechanism for higher-consequence actions, not as a replacement for App Intents, existing user authorization, entitlements, sandboxing, or other Apple security mechanisms. Possible Interoperability Relevance This question may also become relevant as operating-system interoperability requirements evolve, including in the European Union under the Digital Markets Act. As third-party AI assistants and services gain deeper interoperability with operating-system features, there may be a need to distinguish between allowing an interoperating service to request an action and allowing that specific action to cross the final consequence boundary. A device-side execution-finality mechanism could potentially provide a technical middle layer: third-party AI services could request interoperable actions, while the operating system retains a neutral protected mechanism for validating the specific action immediately before it becomes externally effective. This may help explore how broader interoperability and strong device-side security could coexist without requiring unrestricted execution authority for either first-party or third-party AI assistants. I would be interested in whether Apple considers this type of consequence-boundary enforcement compatible with existing or future App Intents and interoperability architectures. Questions for Apple Engineers and Developers Does App Intents currently provide a supported mechanism for maintaining an action in a non-effective state until execution-specific authorization is verified? Where would Apple consider the correct enforcement point for such validation: App Intents, the host application, an OS-mediated service, or the actual consequence boundary? Is there an existing Apple framework or security primitive intended to provide this kind of action-specific, pre-effectuation execution authority? Would this model be relevant as Siri and Apple Intelligence gain the ability to perform more cross-app and agentic actions? Could an OS-mediated finality mechanism also provide a common security boundary for first-party and interoperating third-party AI assistants? I am particularly interested in understanding whether this should be considered an App Intents implementation pattern, an operating-system security concern, or a broader architectural mechanism for secure AI interoperability.

Can I prevent Siri from "seeing" specific parts of my app?
Let's say my app is a password or other type of secret manager, which means it can display highly sensitive data to the user. If Siri summarize whats on screen, it would then be able to "see" that sensitive data and transmit it off device in a way the user might not expect nor want. Is there a way that I can prevent this by marking specific views in an app as sensitive, or detect if Siri is analyzing the contents of the apps screen? The .privacySensitive() modifier and @Environment(\.isSceneCaptured) environment variable do not seem to apply in this case.

Siri AI broken
Hi everyone, I’m testing the latest iOS 27 beta and I’ve noticed an issue with the new Siri. When I ask very simple questions that should be handled locally or through basic reasoning, Siri consistently responds with: “Uh oh, something went wrong.” For example, asking: “When is the next Friday the 13th?” results in the error message instead of an answer. I’ve reproduced this multiple times and it seems to happen with other straightforward informational queries as well. I’ve already tried restarting the device and checking my network connection, but the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced this behavior with the new Siri in the iOS 27 beta? If so, were you able to find a workaround or identify what’s causing it? Any help or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
