Since iOS 14.5, Apple uses neural text-to-speech technology to make Siri sound less robotic. You can now choose voices that match your style or even switch accents for fun. Plus, your preference syncs across all Apple devices linked to your iCloud account!

Step-by-Step: Change Siri’s Voice & Accent

  • Open Settings → Tap Siri & Search.
Open Settings Tap Siri Search
  • Select Siri Voice.
  • Pick a Variety: Choose from accents like:
    • American
    • Australian
    • British
    • Indian
    • Irish
    • South African
Siri voice commands settings
  • Choose a Voice: Scroll through numbered options (Voices 1, 2, or 3).
    • Pro Tip: Newer voices (Voices 2 and 3 under American) sound the most natural!
  • Wait for Download: Your iPhone will download the voice automatically—no need to stay on the page.

Key Notes to Remember

  • Synced Devices: Changing Siri’s voice on your iPhone updates it on your Apple Watch, iPad, and HomePod too.
  • First-Time Setup: If you’ve never used Siri, you’ll pick a voice during activation.
  • Storage Space: Larger voice files may take longer to download on slower Wi-Fi.
