Apple Intelligence went into a perpetual update loop for many users on Thursday, causing the old Siri animation to appear and on-device tools to stop working.
On-device doesn’t mean outages aren’t possible thanks to OTA updates
Issues surrounding Apple Intelligence have been cropping up throughout the day Thursday, and it may be due to a botched backend push from Apple. Users began noticing the lack of on-device Apple Intelligence early Thursday, and issues have continued propagating across devices and regions.
There’s nothing on Apple’s system status page that would indicate there are any issues, though there isn’t a section for Apple Intelligence. AppleInsider reached out to Apple about the issue and has been told they are looking into it.
