You can now customize Siri’s pace and expressivity in the latest iOS 27 beta

Apple has introduced customizable voice settings for Siri in the latest iOS 27 beta, allowing users to adjust the assistant's speaking pace and expressiveness. Previously labeled as 'Coming soon,' these features are now available in beta 3, enabling users to select from various voices with different accents and fine-tune how quickly or slowly Siri speaks, as well as the level of emotional expression in its voice. This update aligns with Apple's efforts to enhance Siri's naturalness and personalization through generative AI. While similar customization options exist in ChatGPT, such as adjusting warmth and enthusiasm, Siri's current capabilities focus on pace and expressivity rather than broader personality traits. Users can test the changes as Siri practices common phrases to demonstrate the effects of the adjustments. Additional minor updates include a redesigned Reminders app icon, though some users reported issues accessing new Siri features or experiencing data indexing after the update.
