Turn on Apple Intelligence in macOS Sequoia 15.1 Beta 3 (1 Viewer)

In the macOS Sequoia 15.1 betas Apple previously restricted apple intelligence to the US and device region had to be configured for US for it to work outside the US which creates more difficulties.

But with the new 15.1 beta 3 released today the device region no longer has to be set to US - only the Siri language and device language like this in System Settings:


You have to join a waitlist but it just takes a few minutes

Note this does not work in China or EU, at least not yet anyway.

apple has just announced that apple intelligence will be updated in december to be compatible with localised language in australia, canada, new zealand, south africa and uk - and then next year in china, france, japan, spain

so for now you still need to change language to us english as i said before, but eventually this won't be necessary

It is likely that apple intelligence with localised english in sequoia will require version 15.2, not 15.1.

So you could expect 15.2 to be released in december, although it isn’t even available as beta yet

i also think china, france, japan, spain will have to wait till 15.3 or 15.4
