Image Playground stuck at Early Access requested

me too, ive been waiting since about an hour after the beta came out

I’ve been waiting for 72+ hours. 😇

96 hours here😭

Im new to this

ive installed iPadOS 18.2 with everything working except image playground. I’ve been stuck on "early access requested’ for 2 days. I’ve tried changing my region settings to U.S. and I’m still stuck. Anyone have any resolution

4 days in for me with no change, I’ll be patient although there is no way to check the status which will be nice

Yeah… no luck here. It’s weird that Apple can’t let everyone try it, because I’m pretty sure the models run locally and not on private cloud compute. One thing that I noticed was that if you turn on airplane mode and open Image Playground, it loads for a while then shows you this screen

Same problem I am waiting since 75 hours 😢

i’ve been stuck for more than a day they requested it on Thursday and it’s still stuck on Sunday.

how do we resolve this? I’m in the same boat as everyone else.

Im at 3.5 days rightnow

Same with me I have been stuck for more than 36 hours

Apparently Ian Zelbo on X has just gotten access to image playground. it seems there is some hope after all

Been stuck at same position for 5 days and counting. ;(

I’ve been waiting over 3 days now. My battery tanks fast and I feel like it’s for no reason with no access to the additional 18.2 features lol Trying to patiently wait…

I have been stuck on for 98 hours... ( 4 days ) …

This is the primary reason I didn’t buy the iPhone 16. By the time all the features advertised at WWDC are rolled out, half a year will have passed and we will be on the horizon of the iPhone 17. I might as well wait.
