    Siri AI Missing? How to Join the iOS 27 Waitlist

    Siri AI is not in your camera. Open Settings, tap Siri, and join the waitlist — plus the two things that hide the button completely.

    iOS 27 shipped the new Siri, but you have to put yourself in line for it first. Here is where the button hides and the two things that keep it from showing up at all.

    Open Settings, then Siri

    Everything for this lives on the Siri screen in Settings, not in the Camera app.

    Tap the Siri AI button

    There is a button at the top of that screen for Siri AI. Tapping it puts you in the queue.

    Wait for Apple to notify you

    Apple is letting people in a batch at a time, so the feature can be on your phone and still be unavailable to you.
