Apple Intelligence arrived on the Mac in October 2024, and if you've been looking for it on your Mac and can't find it, you're probably not alone. It's not as if there's an app called Apple Intelligence on your Mac-it's a set of features and services scattered throughout macOS. Here's how to turn on Apple Intelligence on your Mac and tap into the new features.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR APPLE INTELLIGENCE

> An M-series Mac. Apple Intelligence does not run on Intel-based Macs.

> macOS Sequoia 15.1 or later. Apple has released new Apple Intelligence gradually (fave.co/3MZugcd), so you'll need to update to the latest version of macOS to get the latest features. For example, Sequoia 15.1 includes the first set of features; Sequoia 15.2 added Image Playground and ChatGPT support.

> Apple Intelligence currently supports only localized English.

Apple plans to add more language support beginning in April 2025, including Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Also, the language you use on your Mac and the language you use with Siri must be the same.

WHAT COUNTRIES CAN RUN APPLE INTELLIGENCE?

Apple Intelligence works in these English-speaking countries:
> Australia
> Canada
> Ireland
> New Zealand
> South Africa
> U.K.
> U.S.

If you travel to a non-English-speaking region, Apple Intelligence will still work, so long as English is the language your Mac is set to use. In the EU, M-series Macs running macOS Sequoia 15.1 or later can run Apple Intelligence while using a currently supported language.
