How to change the voice of Maps on Apple devices 

Apple Maps is available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. Like other navigation services, Maps has a voice assistant that offers voice guidance. And you can also change not only the language and gender of the Siri voice, but also change the accent.

Since the voice used for verbal directions is the voice of Siri, all you have to do is change the voice of Siri. After that, the changes will be reflected on your device. Also, if all your devices use the same Apple ID, you don’t need to change the voice for each device individually. However, we have mentioned the steps for all Apple devices that support Apple Maps and here is how to change the default voice on Apple Maps.

How to Change Voice in Apple Maps on iPhone/iPad

  1. Open “Settings”on iPhone.
  2. Select Siri and search.
  3. Tap Siri Voice.
  4. Now you can choose variety (accent) depending on the language you choose. Available options are American, Australian, British, Indian, Irish and South African.
