GoKawiilApple lets users customize Siri's voice and response style ahead of iOS 27 overhaul
Apple currently allows iPhone and iPad users to change Siri's voice and accent through Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > Voice, with new options downloading over WiFi or cellular. Users can also adjust how Siri communicates—aloud, quietly, or via on-screen text—through separate settings menus, ahead of a more comprehensive Siri redesign expected with iOS 27 in September.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Apple has lagged behind Google and Samsung in rolling out agentic AI and assistant features, making incremental Siri customization options a stopgap while the company prepares a larger overhaul. These smaller adjustments give users some control now, but the real test of Apple's AI ambitions will come with the iOS 27 release.
- Siri's voice and accent can be changed now via Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > Voice.
- Users can customize Siri's response style—spoken, silent, or text-only—through additional settings.
- iOS 27, arriving in mid-September, will bring a more significant Siri redesign and expanded options.
