Tired of your current Siri voice? Let’s learn how to change it. Apple has recorded actors’ voices and run them through its neural text-to-speech engine in an effort to make Siri sound more natural, so you have more options than ever for how Siri’s voice should sound.

If you have not used Siri before, when you first use the virtual assistant, you will be prompted to choose a voice for it, but if you have, you can change the voice Siri is using manually. So, how do you change Siri’s voice? You can customize Siri’s voice in the Settings app. Let’s find out how.

  • Customize Siri’s voice to one that you like the best.
  • Make Siri more understandable by matching the voice to your country’s native accent.
