Image Playground stuck at Early Access requested

Anyluck yet ? im going on 14Hrs now

I have the same problem on the iPhone 16 Pro and it has been on the "Early Access requested" page for 12 hours.

Been about a day since I requested access. Still waiting.

did playground install automatically for you, or do you have to download it?

I upgraded and many of the intelligence features seem to be working. I do not see the app Playground

same problem, why release this just to frustrate people, at least explain what is the criteria for accepting some and not others, or expected/average waiting time

Been almost a day for me now. Still no access

Same here. Even tried factory reset of phone and nothing changed same as everyone else stuck at the requested screen. It’s been 27 hours now.

Here it is thinking I was alone with this issue. I’m also plugged with the early access request image stuck on my phone. I’ve also restarted my phone to see if that may have fixed the issue, but it seems to be a more widespread bigger issue than I first thought it was. I hope this they get this figured out.

Same here. Looks like this is the case for a lot of people.

I am also still waiting for access. Is there anything we need to do or is it simply a waiting game?

Same. It's been over a day for me. I heard some people got it in some minutes

Maybe it’s only for paid developer accounts?

My account got it in an hour. My wife’s account is now 25 hours in - still doesn’t have it.

I’m a day into waiting. My guess is that they’re doing this in waves just to see how their servers are able to handle the power hungry requests these AI features require.

On another note someone posted on a video I watched that they contacted support and they told them it could take up to a week be granted access. Take that with a grain of salt though.

Its been forever its stuck
