I’m on a base iPhone 17 and I‘ve been approved from the waitlist over two weeks ago and when I use Siri, I get the old Siri from before Apple Intelligence was a thing (Glowy orb at the bottom). Inside Siri settings, it looks like it’s supposed to be set up for the new SirI as it shows the app settings. Here are my observations I have found from using beta 1 to 2.
Beta 1:
Whenever I have the new Siri “enabled”, there is no app
I can type “siri://“ and it‘ll open the Siri open saying that’s there’s an update in progress. But if I type that in when I’m using the previous Siri, the app is there and it’s blank
When new Siri is ”enabled” and whenever I ask Siri a question she’ll either think and never stop or output a blank answer. But when I turn Siri back to its previous version and open the “sir://“, it stores the conversation and when I open it, it actually answered my question.
Beta 2:
When installing beta 2 I said “new Siri“ enabled
Once it was done installing, I went to iPhone storage and saw that “Apple Intelligence“ storage is increasing size. But then after a minute, it went back down to 14GB
Still gave me the old Siri UI
Now the siri app is not accessible when typing “siri://“
Siri mode is now in the camera app but it says it’s unavailable
The ChatGPT extension area is now blocked because assets are downloading
Whenever I visual intelligence and press ask it says that siri support is downloading
I left siri alone for 3 days and nothing happened. Still stuck with old siri
The ask siri option is everywhere now and when I press it, nothing happens
Right now I’m using the previous version of Siri and hoping this bug will be patched and I can use the new Siri AI in Beta 3.
*the screenshot provided shows what happens when I use Siri in beta 2 when it’s enabled.
