Do you want to change the voice on your Apple Maps? We’ve got you covered. Here is all you need to do to change the voice on maps. It is simple, doable and effective. So, let’s get started.
What does it mean to change the voice in Apple Maps?
Changing the voice in Apple Maps means customizing the sound of your navigation guide by adjusting your Siri settings. This changes nothing, but only the voice that tells you the directions. Because Apple Maps doesn’t have its own independent voice library, it uses the global Siri voice you’ve selected for your entire device. And you can select from the library, whenever you want to.
When you make this change, you can switch between various genders, accents, and dialects like British, Australian, or Indian English, making it all the more fun and personalized. It’s a great way to make directions feel more personal or easier to understand while driving, while also being something you are more comfortable with. But when you do that, please note that this change will also apply to how Siri sounds when answering questions or reading texts. If you don’t like something, you can always switch it back.
Steps to change the Apple Maps Voice
If you want to change the way Apple Maps speaks to you, these are some steps that you can follow.
Open Settings
Get your device and Tap on the Settings app on your iPhone Home Screen.
Move to Siri
In the Settings, just Scroll down and select Apple Intelligence & Siri. This will open up a big menu before you which you can read through. So, look for the Siri Voice menu and tap it.
Pick Your Choice
Under the Variety section that you see, choose the accent or dialect you prefer. It can be anything from the given options that you feel the most comfortable with.
Now Choose a Voice
Under the Voices section, tap on the different numbered options to hear a preview to know what you are choosing. Once you find one you like, leave it selected.
Wait for Download
If you chose a new voice, your phone might need a moment to download the audio file. If you want it to download over mobile data as well, you can change it further in the settings. But at times, it chooses Wi-Fi as the default option.
Check Maps
Once you have made all the changes, just open Apple Maps and start a route. The navigation should be active in your chosen voice now.
And that is simply how you can change the voice on your Apple Maps and adjust the settings as per your choice. It’s fun and personalized. You can try it!
