Siri voice in the UK - come back Jon Briggs!

For some unknown reason my Siri voice has switched itself to some pimply UK youth. It's incredibly annoying to be told that he's 'too busy to take any requests at the moment' in his tinny, just-broken voice. I'd like to get Jon Briggs back.


Any ideas please ?


Thanks, DM.

Hello there, DaveMarson.


The following Knowledge Base article offers up how to change the voice for Siri:

Can I change how Siri sounds?

New female and male voices will be available initially in U.S. English, French, and German. You can change the gender by going to Settings > General > Siri > Voice Gender. Your iOS device initially uses a compact voice for Siri. iOS will automatically download and install a more natural-sounding voice when you first connect to power and a Wi-Fi network.
