It works with British English on 18.2. Not sure on 18.1 though, I thought more language support was added in that release but I could be wrong.

iphone 16 pro and still get the siri ball not the fancy lighting round edge

Change language and Siri language to US, you can change the Siri voice back to a British one and leave the region set to UK. You'l be able to activate Apple Intelligence then, or wait for 18.2.

18.1 public release is not the same as the RC out last week, so you'll need to do another update.

Thanks I’m set to English uk. That explains it. Might change it to try.

 

[darrant1234]

Just tried changing. It didn’t work. I’ll wait till 18.2

It definitely works, I’ve been using it for ages In the betas, you need both system language and Siri language set to English US.

I'm struggling with battery life on iOS 18.0.1 on my iPhone 13 Mini. Before iOS 18 I'd get a good couple of days out of it; now, I'm losing 60% of the battery in about 15 hours! Tried restarting the phone and checking for background apps, but there's nothing obvious.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I had a similar problem on my iPad Mini but the iPad OS update totally fixed it.

Yes my battery is horrific all of a sudden. 15Pro. I'm at 89% capacity. 344 cycles.

Hopefully 18.1 fixes it.

I’m now on 18.1. Will give it a day or two and report back.

Updated to 18.1 last night. Already enjoying the Clean Up feature in Photos. It’s not perfect but should reduce the number of times I have to open Photoshop which will be much more convenient.

I haven’t used any other AI features yet but this alone makes the update worthwhile.

I do hope 18.1 is kinder to my battery though (15PM).

 

[john_smith]

26% left. That’s the best day by far of the last 10 on my battery graph.

A positive sign for 18.1 vs 18.01

Updated my 15proto 18.1 how do I get this apple intelligence stuff, enabled Siri, is it just a case of changing the language to US? Any downside to that, guessing a temporary measure?

Also what's some cool stuff this AI can do?

It has a flashy colourful border around the edge of the screen.

No, forgive me please.

I think it's fixed for me. It's currently at 67% after being charged to 96% about 21 hours ago, which is much better

I updated to 18.1 this morning and my battery is on 8%. I’ve generally been going to be around 11ish and it’s still on 35%.

I’ve hardly been on my phone today as was helping my sister with her garden most of the day

Will see how tomorrow is!

Not sure if right thread but:-

Hi Reuben,

We wanted to let you know that, from 09 December, you'll no longer be able to use your EE shared number service on MacBooks and iPads.

Watch functionality, along with the Apple-provided iCloud number-sharing function, won’t be affected.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused by this update.

What exactly does this mean? Will that mean no longer receiving phone calls on my iPad/MB if I’m actively using that device?

Is anyone having an issue with WhatsApp on iOS lately whereby a message will show 1 tick in an open chat but 2 ticks in the chat list?

 

[Feek]

iOS 18.1.1 is out.

Is anyone having an issue with WhatsApp on iOS lately whereby a message will show 1 tick in an open chat but 2 ticks in the chat list?

Yep. But once you go back out to the chat list and it shows two ticks, going back into the chat shows two as expected.
