iOS 18.2 - Siri's Voice - Sounds different from preview during normal use

After a successful update to iOS 18.2, Siri's voice sounds different from the preview within settings. Is there a way to fix this? I prefer the way Siri's voice sounds in the preview/the way it has always sounded. (Australian - Voice 1)

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Completely agree. Not only that, but Siri’s voice is now completely inconsistent.

Her tone sounds completely, different depending on what you’re asking…?

PLEASE FIX THIS!

Many thanks!

No one here can FIX anything. This isn't Apple Support. This is a user to user only forum, where none of us work for Apple.


Yes, Apple changed the Siri voice with iOS 18 and Apple Intelligence. Personally, I find Siri sounds more human in her or his responses. I like the change. If you, however, don'd like it, provide feedback to Apple here --> Product Feedback - Apple


I personally will use the same link if Apple changes it back. It works both ways.

Yep, that worked. I disabled Apple Intelligence and Siri’s voice is back to the way it was pre iOS 18.
I’ll use Apple Intelligence, as soon as you put the voice back to the way it was.

When you say you'll use Apple Intelligence, as soon as "you" put the voice back, indicates you may think you are speaking with Apple here. You aren't. This is a user to user only forum, which Apple doesn't read for feedback.


If you want Apple to know your thoughts, you need to use this link --> Product Feedback - Apple


Keep in mind this link works both ways. I have already used it to thank Apple for making Siri sound more human and personally, I hope they NEVER make Siri sound as it did before.
