Initially the Apple Intelligence upgrade download was stuck on preparing for 10+ hours. I fixed the issue by resetting all of my settings using the reset function and was able to toggle Apple Intelligence on. However now it has been stuck downloading for the entire day so far with no features working on my phone as of yet. Hoping for a fix that will allow the features to begin to function soon.

I was stuck on the downloading screen for days, and nothing seemed to work. I ended up changing the region and doing a settings reset, and that finally got the download to complete. The exact steps are mentioned here How to Fix Apple Intelligence Stuck in Downloading , in case anyone else is dealing with the same issue.

Any ideas on how I can get Apple Intelligence to download, I’ve followed all the Apple guidance and community advice and 1 week on, it’s still stuck on downloading.
Dude take a chill pill. Was just trying to help and relay what worked for me, and several others. Hang in there man.
Dude, how am I supposed to know everything you have tried?! Instead of arguing with me work on fixing your IPhone. WOW
My apple intelligence is stuck on downloading
What settings did you reset?
I just upgraded to 15.2 today and I downloaded apple intelligence capabilities like Image Playground. It was all working fine until another user used my Mac. It now says that it's downloading support in the apps that use apple intelligence although it says 100% downloaded in settings.
It works, just change the Apple Intelligence language to something else then go back and change to your language. Thanks.
Exactly what do you mean by reset all my settings?? I’ve tried everything except restoring the phone.
pl help me Fix my Apple Intelligence it’s Stuck Downloading and it’s not working..!
Mine doesnt even show that its an option and it should. You've made it farther than I have. It showed it for a brief moment and then took it away and now shows nothing. Another awesome update from apple
Just upgraded and semi bricked the first 16 pro max during the install.
it was in a almost bricked state I’m sure hooking it up to a Mac would fix it but gladly the Verizon staff just gave me a brand new identical one and swapped it . They knew the nightmare we had gone through upgrading our phones with best buy .
don’t upgrade your phone through Best Buy . Ever .
hard lesson learned .

i have a macbook pro m1 pro when apple released the update i joined the waitlist quick after few minute i was able to download apple inteligence today the old Siri came back from nowwhwere , writing tools suspended and the model is at downloading
I managed to fix the problem on my iPhone 15 pro!
I reset and delete everything on my phone and then restored an old iCloud backup from before I had enabled Apple Intelligence.
When I then went to settings and click download Apple Intelligence it took about four seconds and it worked.
Before you do this, remember to check if you have a iCloud backup and how old it is.
im using iPhone 15 por max and iOS 18.1.1
but it won’t move beyond the “ preparing “
been like that for days now and I have deleted lot of my stuff to make space since it needs 4 GB. But not even that
Me too. When I go onto settings, it’s says that I have to wait for Apple intelligence to be downloaded before using the features. Earlier it was working normally but now it’s not. Hope the downloading process would be faster
