Where to find Apple Intelligence after updating Macbook Pro?

I am using a MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro from 2021. I updated this morning The region is set to the United States, the language is English (U.S.), and the Siri language is also English (U.S.). Despite this, the Apple Intelligence feature did not appear.

It worked for both my Ipad and iPhone but not the Mac. What could be the reason for this?

Apple, where is this option?

When will the Apple Intelligence update be released? It said it would be released in early October, but it's October 21, and I still can't find it. Please let me know if anyone knows when it's released or how to get it.

Apple Intelligence for any Apple operating system will not arrive until sometime in October.

Apple Intelligence comes to iPhone, iPad, and Mac starting next month - Apple

First, you have to have an Apple Silicon Mac. Second, AI won't be available to EU countries until next year for iPhones and iPads.

It turns out that Apple Intelligence is only available for MacBooks with an M1 processor or above. Furthermore, to receive the beta version (but hopefully not the full version) you need to set your device language and Siri's language to English (US) which can be found in System Settings under Language and Location and Apple Intelligence & Siri in the main menu.

• Updated to what version of Mac OS?
• What is the region/launuage of the device?
• Where was the device purchased?

This is the information that is needed to determine eligibility and for those in this thread was the reason why they don't have the feature, so without knowing that, we would not be able to determine why you do not have it.

It is November and we don't know:

• What MacOS version you have
• If you have a Silicon Mac
• If you have the region set to English US
• If the Siri language is set to English US
• If the Mac was manufactured for a China market

If you had iOS v15.1 beta, it might have featured Apple Intelligence, but it is not in the shipping iOS v18.0, or v18.0.1.

FWIW, it takes a few minutes after signing in to the wait list to get AI.

You can't find it because it hasn't yet been released. There are still nine days left in October.

No one here in this user-to-user forum would know anything that Apple hasn't yet announced.

IDK about mac, i'm working so i cant update now, but for iPhone 18.1 does NOT give you AAI. You have to go into settings and select "Join Waitlist" which is disturbing since 18.1 was the promised date of AAI. Based on the written included features in the update 18.1 right now essentially does nothing.
