When Apple Intelligence was first released, it only supported US English. Later, in December 2024, the company released the iOS 18.2 update, which brought support for English to locales in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.
This expansion demonstrates Apple’s commitment to making its AI technologies accessible to a global audience, addressing diverse linguistic and cultural needs. By providing localized versions, Apple aims to improve the user experience and ensure seamless interaction with AI tools across different regions. These updates will enable millions of users to leverage Apple Intelligence in their native language.
