For the sake of inclusion and diversity, Apple's Siri virtual assistant no longer defaults to a female voice in the United States.

In addition, you can switch to one of the two new Siri voices available with iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5. Follow along with our tutorial to learn how to change Siri's default voice on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and HomePod.
