How to Change the Siri Voice and Settings on iPhone

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

To change Siri’s voice on iPhone, open Settings, tap Siri or Apple Intelligence & Siri, then choose Voice. Use Language to change the language Siri understands and Responses to adjust spoken answers. Menu labels and available choices can vary by iOS version, region, and device.

Change Siri’s voice or accent

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Siri. If you do not see it, tap Apple Intelligence & Siri instead; Apple places Siri preferences there on some software versions.
  3. Tap Voice.
  4. Choose a listed voice or variation. The available options depend on your Siri version and settings. If a voice needs to be downloaded, follow the prompt shown on your iPhone.

Voice variations are the setting to use when you want a different-sounding Siri voice, such as a different accent. Changing the voice does not change every spoken voice on the iPhone, including VoiceOver.

Change the language Siri understands

  1. Return to the Siri settings screen in Settings.
  2. Tap Language.

Language is separate from the voice choice: it determines the language Siri uses to understand requests.

See Apple’s Change Siri settings on iPhone.
