Personal Voice language options missing UK English

I would like to create a Personal Voice recording. However, it would seem that there is a bug within the system as my only option is to do so with an USA accent. Is there a bug fix in the pipework as the only languages shown in "Choose a Language" is Chinese, Spanish and the English USA variant. Why no English UK.

This is Apple Support's recent iOS 26 article:

Yes. There are very few language options for Personal Voice.


Seems it is still early days for personal voice:

Many are grateful to be able to access what is already freely available.


Languages for many countries are not yet available. Generally no-one here in the community knows what Apple will do in future, until new features or languages become available.


iOS and iPadOS 26 - Feature Availability - Apple

Eg: says:

Accessibility: Personal Voice

  • English (United States)
  • Mandarin Chinese (China mainland)
  • Spanish (Mexico)


That's the choices for now, just as you have experienced.

If you wish: You can communicate your desire for your own UK language preference to the accessibility support team:
