Change Siri Voice accent and gender

The nice thing about Siri is that you can make it sound any way you like. You can have a male Siri with an Australian accent or a female Siri with an Irish one. Or maybe you’d like to hear one Siri voice on your family’s HomePod, but you prefer a different one on your iPhone.

If you like to change things up now and then and are an avid Siri user, here’s how to change Siri’s voice on your Apple devices.

Note:

  • You can tap different Siri voices and preview them, which will help you decide which one you like.
  • Some voices need to be downloaded, and that will happen when your device is connected to Wi-Fi. In the case of the Apple Watch, it should be plugged into charging as well.
  • If Siri is not speaking the responses, go to Siri Settings > Siri Responses and select Prefer Spoken Responses on iOS or turn on Voice feedback on Mac.

CarPlay

Siri Voice in your car will be the same as the Siri Voice on your iPhone when you’re using wired or wireless CarPlay.

What about Apple TV?

Siri on Apple TV does not offer voice responses to keep your movie-watching undisturbed. Therefore, you won’t find an option to select Siri Voice in Apple TV settings.
