//Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.1 will have a waitlist, here’s how to jump the line//

The first Apple Intelligence features are coming next week in iOS 18.1. If you have an AI-compatible iPhone model, the software update will bring a host of new features. But not right away—Apple Intelligence will come with a waitlist. Here’s how you can act now to jump the line.

But having a compatible iPhone model isn’t the only requirement for Apple Intelligence. Apple will also use a waitlist for granting access to Apple Intelligence features.

After installing iOS 18.1, you’ll need to go to Settings ⇾ Apple Intelligence & Siri to join the waitlist.

How long you stay on the waitlist will be determined by demand.

During the beta period, waits generally haven’t been too long for users. But that could all change when iOS 18.1 is released to the masses next week.

But there’s one sure way to get Apple Intelligence access sooner.
