Apple has released iOS 27 developer beta 1, giving users an early look at several new features announced at WWDC. One of the biggest additions is Siri AI, Apple’s upgraded assistant with new AI-powered capabilities. However, developers who install the beta will not get immediate access, as Apple is rolling out the feature through a waitlist system.
The process follows a similar approach to the Apple Intelligence rollout in iOS 18.1, where users had to request access before Apple enabled the feature on their devices. After joining the waitlist, Apple will notify users when the new Siri experience becomes available on their iPhone.
How to Join the Siri AI Waitlist
If you have already installed iOS 27 beta 1, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap the new Siri menu.
- Select Join Waitlist.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
- Complete the registration process and wait for approval.
When Will Siri AI Become Available?
Apple has not provided an exact timeline for waitlist approvals. Once your request is approved, you will receive a notification confirming that New Siri is ready to use on your device.
For now, developers can sign up for access and wait for Apple to gradually expand availability as testing continues throughout the iOS 27 beta period.
