Is there any way to change the voice in the maps app?

The languange or voice you set under iPhone Language (Settings -> General -> Language & Region) is the voice you have on Maps. As I tested multiple ways, you cannot have the iPhone with one language and Maps with other.

Howdy joegadney,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.


The voice you hear on your Maps navigation is also the voice you have selected for Siri. You can change this by following the directions below:


Change Siri’s voice or language

To change Siri's voice, go to Settings > General > Siri > Voice Gender. To change Siri's language, go to Settings > General > Siri > Language. Then choose from the list of languages that Siri speaks and understands.

You can use Siri in any country, with any of the supported languages. Since Siri is designed to recognize accents and dialects of the supported countries, Siri's accuracy rate will be highest for native speakers. Learn which Siri features are supported in which countries.

Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Take care.

Seems it's not true at all. The Siri language used for the Maps app seems to follow the language setting for iOS and not the language setting for Siri. A pitty. I think it would be great to be able to change the Maps voice to whatever language is spoken at the current map view. At least be able to separately adjust the language used by Siri in Maps.
