Resolved Where Is Siri Voice Settings?

[nanogirl21]

Where is the setting in IOS 11 to change Siri's voice from male to female?

 

[chfilm]

Under Settings/Siri&Search.

Under Settings/Siri&Search.

I don't see Siri & Search at all in settings.

Restart? Is Siri enabled (or perhaps disabled or off in restrictions)?

I restarted twice. Siri is enabled. If I ask Siri to take me to settings it goes to General > Accessibility > Siri. Here it is only the option to turn on/off Type to Siri.

Settings should have a whole separate Siri & Search section. Not sure why you might not have it. Perhaps resetting all settings might be worth a try?

Relax, take your time, calm down, and read the options slowly. Or you can search instead. Hint:

General
Display & Brightness
Wallpaper
Sounds & Haptics
Siri & Search (!!!)

Try searching for it.

This is just weird. Must be something that went wrong with my install.

 

[chabig]

That's very weird. What phone do you have? What country do you live in? Try force quitting the Settings app?

 

[nanogirl21]

I have an iPhone 7 and am in the US on the Verizon network. I installed IOS 11 over Wifi.

I also just noticed that I don't have the Mic icon in messages for speech to text (or whatever Apple calls it) or voice messages.

Then it should be there. Maybe force quitting the Settings app will restore the option.

I will try. Thanks for the suggestion. Going to keep fussing with it.

Apparently, I had Restrictions Disabled. Restrictions need to be ENABLED for the Siri settings (and some other settings) to appear. The title 'Restrictions' is very misleading as that means something isn't allowed. Don't think the average person would like to turn a restriction setting on for a feature that they want to work. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the whole restriction thing, but anyway I found what I was looking for. Hope this helps anyone else who may have problems.

Thanks to all that chimed in to help.
