[table-of-contents] stripped
If you didn't know until right now that you can change Siri's voice on your iPhone, consider this your invitation to start exploring the digital assistant's many manners of speaking. Learning how to change Siri's voice is easy, although you'll want to do it while connected to Wi-Fi, since it usually involves downloading new files.
Whether you want to switch it up from the default intonation or you want to converse with Siri in a different language, here's how to change Siri's voice on your iPhone. After all, hearing "I'm sorry, could you say that again?" from the digital assistant is a universal experience.
How to Change Siri's Voice
Open "Settings" on your iPhone.
Tap "Siri & Search" and select "Siri Voice."
From here, you can choose the English-speaking accent, as well as the tone of the voice. (Apple no longer designates Siri's voice options by gender.) Keep in mind that once you tap on any voice besides the default selection, it will start downloading to your device — it's a good idea to do this while connected to Wi-Fi.
Note that certain accents will have a different number of voice tones to choose from. For example, the American English accent currently has five different voices, while the Australian English accent has only two.
How to Change Siri's Language
Open "Settings" on your iPhone.
Tap "Siri & Search" and select "Language."
Then, scroll through the alphabetical list to find the language and region you'd like to change Siri's voice to. There are currently 41 different languages and dialects to choose from.
Once you select a new language, it will start downloading to your device — it's a good idea to do this while connected to Wi-Fi.
