If Apple Intelligence isn’t working on your iPhone, the issue might be your language settings. Apple Intelligence requires your iPhone’s system language and Siri language to match. I’ll show you how to fix this problem with clear steps.

How to Fix Apple Intelligence Language Problem on iPhone.

Demo performed on iOS 18.4.1 with iPhone 16 Pro Max Titanium Black 256GB (Global model A3296 – MYWV3ZD/A)

Why Apple Intelligence Isn’t Working

The most common reason Apple Intelligence won’t activate is a language mismatch. If you use multiple languages on your iPhone, check these two settings:

• Your iPhone’s system language
• Siri’s language

Apple Intelligence only works when both are set to the same supported language.

How to Check Your Current Language Settings

Check System Language

1. Open Settings
2. Tap General
3. Select Language & Region
4. Look at iPhone Language

Check Siri Language

1. Open Settings
2. Tap Siri & Search
3. Select Language

How to Fix the Language Mismatch

You have two options to make Apple Intelligence work:

Option 1: Change iPhone System Language

1. Go to Settings > General > Language & Region
2. Tap iPhone Language
3. Choose the same language Siri uses
4. Tap Change to [Language]

Option 2: Change Siri Language

1. Go to Settings > Siri & Search
2. Tap Language
3. Select the same language your iPhone uses

Supported Apple Intelligence Languages

Learn which languages currently work with Apple Intelligence (as of iOS 18.4.1):

• English (US, UK, Australia, Canada)
• Spanish
• French
• German
• Japanese

If your preferred language isn’t listed, you’ll need to wait for future updates.

What If You Need Different Languages?

Some users prefer keeping their iPhone in one language but want Siri in another. Unfortunately, Apple Intelligence won’t work in this case. You have two choices:

1. Keep both languages the same to use Apple Intelligence
2. Use different languages and wait for Apple to update this requirement

Troubleshooting Tips

If Apple Intelligence still isn’t working after matching languages:

• Restart your iPhone
• Check for iOS updates
• Reset Siri by turning it off/on in Settings

Note: Apple may change these requirements in future updates. I’ll update this post if anything changes.
