Siri's voice sounds weird on iOS 15.1

It sounds like the audio is being rerouted through another device or system. It sounds like a bad phone call. I’m convinced it’s a sign that your phone has been hacked. I think whenever the sound becomes muffled, someone or something is listening in on your audio.

No, it's a sign that the person has Low Power Mode enabled. Please read the entire thread.

So qq, when your phone is plugged in and charging, does it feel hot? I’ve noticed this happening as well but it always seems to be while my phone is on the charger and/or warm for some other reason (maps). After I unplug, chuck it in the fridge for a bit and restart my blue tooth all seems well. Maybe it’s one of those battery protections they put into place??

I am get this same issue with the iPhone 13 Pro on the latest IOS 15. I at first thought it was my new iPhone because it came out of box having this issue. I am pretty irritated because I use siri a lot and had hoped they would have fixed this issue by now. ITS BEEN 9 MONTHS APPLE. Obviously it is something wrong with your OS and I know yall are just focused on IOS 16 for now but please, please, please put out a patch update for IOS 15 and fix this SIRI issue.

I have the same problem. I’m not on iOS 15.6 and I have restarted my iPhone multiple times and changed Siri’s voice multiple times, yet if I ask it to say a time out for the time it is muddled but for other things like calling someone it works fine.

How do I fix this, it really bothers me?!

Mine seemed to change after connecting to bluetooth speaker and to the car. I found this on another site and it worked for me.....

"I fixed this, nip (go) to accessibility, voiceover, speech, click on the name of the voice you use click default, then if enhanced has not been downloaded just click that it takes a few seconds depending on your Wi-Fi speeds rate and it cures this issue. You can then delete the enhanced file in voiceover and siri sounds fine asking things like make a call etc. Most odd but it seems to work."

....hope this works for you.

Turn off low power mode

Mine sounds muffled or almost sounds like my phone got wet and the speakers are messed up.

You can change siris voice n the settings

Turning off low power mode fixed the voice. However since the battery drain on my iPhone 11 Pro is so extreme, I am almost always in low power mode. Please update this apple!

Same thing happened to me after IOS15. Messed around with it and discovered that it only happed when my phone was on low power mode. Turned low power mode off and it was fine again. Hope this helps.

I literally just tried this and it worked. Its crazy that they somehow changed the settings of Siri so that she sounds worse when you are trying to save battery life🤨.

My music app will not connect to my car after this new update so now I feel like I’m being forced to buy a dongle🤮.

Same thing happened to me as soon as I updated to iOS 15.1, I found it only happens when im on low power mode though. Apparently a lot of people have this issue and I hope they fix it soon

this hasn’t fixed anthing my Siri will sometimes be good and it will mostly have bad quality sound. I have tried restarting my phone and changing sounds
