Apple Intelligence Expansion to China Advances with New Feedback Format

Apple is likely to introduce its artificial intelligence features, Apple Intelligence, in China soon, as indicated by a recent feedback form on the company's official website. It requires users to provide a phone number +86 for submitting feedback, highlighting a focus on users in China rather than just those who speak Chinese.

The site allows customers to leave feedback on various Apple Intelligence features, including content quality, privacy policy, and overall system functionality. They can share their thoughts on text writing tools, photo enhancement, notification summaries, focus mode to reduce distractions, prioritized email messages, smart replies in Mail and Messages, as well as summaries in the Mail, Messages, Safari, and Notes apps.

Currently, Apple Intelligence features are not available in China. The implementation of this technology has been ongoing since the launch of iOS 18, but it requires collaboration with Chinese artificial intelligence companies. Specifically, Apple has partnered with Alibaba; however, the launch was delayed in June due to trade tensions between the U.S. and China.

Both countries, the U.S. and China, have reached an agreement on trade tariffs and regulatory barriers, which may facilitate the implementation of Apple Intelligence in the near future. The latest version of iOS that supports these features is iOS 26.2, scheduled for release at the end of the year. If approved by Chinese regulators, Apple will be able to include support in its updates.

At this time, there are no signs of Apple Intelligence support in China in beta versions, and no official release dates have been announced by either Apple or Alibaba.
