Apple launched the new Siri AI in iOS 27 as a beta, but you cannot use it right away, because you first have to join a waitlist. The feature works in English only and is unavailable on iPhones in the EU and in mainland China. How do you join the Siri AI waitlist? Which iPhones and regions can use it?

How Do You Join the Siri AI Waitlist?

There is no separate app to download, because you sign up in the iPhone settings after updating to iOS 27. Follow the steps below in order.

Update your iPhone to iOS 27.
Open Settings and tap Siri.
Turn on Siri first if it is off.
Tap Try Siri AI (Beta).
Follow the prompts to pick a voice, complete voice enrollment and review privacy settings.

When access is granted, your iPhone sends a notification and the required models download automatically. Wait times vary, with some users getting access in minutes and others waiting hours or days. People who used Siri AI during the beta must join the waitlist again. Apple still calls the feature a beta, and daily usage limits are reported.

Which Devices, Languages and Regions Are Supported?

Siri AI needs an Apple Intelligence capable device. On iPhone, the supported models are listed below.

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
iPhone 16 models.
iPhone Air.
Newer models that came after the iPhone 16.

Your device language and Siri language must match a supported language, and your Apple Account must be in an eligible region. Right now the only supported language is English. Siri AI is not available on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS in the EU, and it is not supported in mainland China. Users with an EU Apple Account region can still use it on macOS and visionOS.

When Will More Languages Arrive?

Reports say French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish are expected in October 2026 with iOS 27.1. Apple has not announced a timeline for other languages, and there is no official word on Turkish. Anyone outside English speaking regions should plan on English for now.

Joining the Siri AI waitlist takes a few taps, but access is not guaranteed and can take time. The English only limit and the EU restriction are the two biggest blockers today. If your language is not on the October list, watching Apple’s announcements is the best way to catch changes. Have you joined the Siri AI waitlist yet?
