Apple Intelligence is here in Australia. With the arrival of iOS 18.2, Aussies can now have their phone do all those Apple Intelligenty things that were previously exclusive to US English users, or those willing to brave the beta software.

But downloading the software is only half the process. You need to dive into settings and actually turn it on.

You'll see in the Settings menu after you've updated the phone a new option: Apple Intelligence and Siri. Dive in here and hit the toggle. You'll be prompted to answer a few questions about how you want Apple Intelligence to work: the message types it will summarise for you, for example.
