Image Playground stuck at Early Access requested

Hi

I got access to developer beta 18.2 . All the features are working fine but image Playground stuck at Early Access requested. Can someone share how much time it takes before you are able to access image playground? I have been stuck for 3 hours

Hello all,

I recommend that you take this issue to the Apple Support Community.

The Developer Forums are for questions about development on Apple platforms, and this is not a development-level issue.

Best regards,

Greg

i also have same problems having more than 8 days. still saw Early Access Requested. at provide estimate time to have access.

Same thing here, requested access on the 23rd of October and still waiting.

I finally got access to it after almost 10 days of waiting!! But things were difficult still afterwards. The next message to appear said that support was downloading and this process took another whopping 20 hours to happen!! Been a rough one to get working but loving it all now!! Just wanted to share my experience. Hope yours is better!!

I was one of the people who got on the list the first day, probably within a few hours of 18.2 being released. Less than an hour after the first YouTube videos about it appeared.

I JUST GOT ACCESS about an hour ago. So, they are indeed rolling it out, but slowly. Playground, Wand, and Genmojis all working. Already had the new camera look-up feature, the photo cleanup tool, and the new mail features.

I imagine the rollout will accelerate as stability of the system is established. Good luck!

I have been having this problem on my iPhone 15 Pro for about a week or 2

Just got it today finally it is rolling out very slowly

I’m still waiting about 1 week.

I've been waiting for 1 week

It took 11days, but it finally arrived! Good luck to everyone involved.

It's only available for Youtubers right now the rest of us will have to wait

Does anyone know if it’s better now because I just requested it and I am dying to try it!

I understand that there is a waiting list to gain access to the Image Playground (perhaps so we don’t overload iCloud servers with millions of generated image requests at once. Idk). I do have the patience to wait, but just like many, I also am excited to try out these cool features and provide Apple and us users with feedback! 😅😊

Anyways, my question: Is it possible, that all your apple devices linked to your iCloud account need to have specific settings set or activated to perhaps, “unlock” the image playground app/feature? Just had a feeling.

For example: ChatGPT (subscriber vs non-subscriber) linked/activated with Apple Intelligence and Siri. I realized I did it on my iPhone a few days ago, and now I just activated it on my iPad. However, currently I don’t have an M1 or higher MacBook; Would this make a difference in granting access to Image Playground?

or…

Something within settings pertaining to Photos app, keyboard, even then Notes app for use of the “image wand”?

Just brainstorming some thoughts. I hope there‘s some revelance…

Of course, any possible feedback or opinion would be greatly appreciated.

I just downloaded iOS 18.2 beta two still have no access to image playground or any of the new AI features. It just says early access requested. I’ve been waiting since 18.2 beta one first came out. I wrote Apple about it no response.

I’ve also been stuck at the same screen since the first 18.2 beta dropped and still not change….if anyone has a solution please share

I’ve been waiting for two weeks to get early access to something, but I haven’t heard back yet.
