Apple drops routine waitlist for Siri AI in iOS 27
Updated support guidance says users may still have to wait for access during periods of high demand.
Apple has revised its support guidance for enabling Siri AI in iOS 27, removing the routine waitlist requirement. The company now says downloads will start automatically, although users may face a waitlist when demand is high.
The instructions direct iPhone users to select “Try Siri AI (Beta)” in Settings. Previously, Apple said that step would place users in a queue, with the download starting after their wait ended.
The revised guidance still cautions that waiting times can vary if a queue is needed. Apple introduced the waitlist when Siri AI launched with iOS 27 earlier in the fall.
