[iOS 18.1 DB2] Fix: Apple Intelligence EU workaround
In iOS 18.1 Beta 2, we finally have a confirmed working solution to bring Apple Intelligence to the EU!
Here are the steps:
Create a new Apple ID with region in the US. You can do this on the AppleID website. You may have to add a payment method, if that happens try to skip it if possible in any way (I don’t really remember how I did it but I created one without payment method a few years back). If it doesn’t, don’t worry. Create a new US PayPal account (you can connect your real card here) and add that to the Apple ID. For address just put some random address you find on maps.
On your iPhone, open Settings. Tap your profile picture. Tap on “Media & Purchases”. Press Sign out. Press on Media & Purchases again and log in with your US Apple ID
You should make sure that your Siri language is set to English (US), your region is set to the US and your phone language is English (US)
Restart your phone (may work without, just try it)
Open Apple Intelligence settings and join the waitlist!
Sadly, signing out of the other Apple ID deactivates Apple Intelligence instantly.
Hope this helps someone!
