Cortana missing after updating.

After updating my phone to windows 8.1 today, cortana is missing. I have checked that i am of the latest updated version but cortana is still missing.

If you're not in America then this is the case for everyone. Cortana does not come with 8.1.

Cortana is only available in the US,UK and China at the moment.
Change your region to any of the above mentioned regions and Cortana will be available.

No it isn't. It's been stated that it will arrive in these countries with 8.1 Update 1

Sorry. My bad.
Hopefully sometime next week.

It'll (maybe not all of them). It'll take some time.

I got the 8.1 update yesterday on my 1020, from O2 in UK, but Cortana is missing on it too! the search button just brings up the bing search. i have tried to set the language and region to US, but no fun! does anyone else from O2 has the same problem?

You have to change region, keyboard and lanuage all to American. You will have to download a the language but it will be done. Works for me on 1520 in uk on 8.1,with cyan
