How to change iPhone’s language to US English for Apple Intelligence
The first wave of Apple Intelligence features is rolling out and you will need to change your iPhone’s language to US English to get the new AI suite onboard.
Apple Intelligence is part of iOS 18.1 and it’s available to download for the following devices:
- iPhone 16
- iPhone 16 Plus
- iPhone 16 Pro
- iPhone 16 Pro Max
