How do I join the Siri AI beta list on iPhone 16?

I have Updated my iPhone 16 and it is not allowing me to update my iPhone to Siri AI. It doesn’t even ask if I want to join the beta list for it. Another person in house has the same iPhone and she was able to be put on the list no problem. I just want to know how to join the list, so I can get it.

Siri is set to English (UK) and you previously said the Device language was set to English (US). See the Support Article here:

Siri AI is available in beta for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, visionOS 27, and watchOS 27 when your device language and Siri language are set to the same supported language and your Apple Account is in an eligible region.

It also states the problem right in the screenshot you posted:

Apple Intelligence requires that iPhone and Siri are set to the same language. Currently your iPhone is set to English (United States) and Siri is set to English (United Kingdom).

Does the model number of your phone end in CH/A?
What language are you using for Siri?
What region is set on your device?

Post a screenshot of what you are seeing at Settings > Siri.
