Siri changes it's voice on its own to American Voice 1 : iOS 17.2.1 - Canada

My Siri changes it's voice on its own. I have my Siri voice set to Australian (Voice 1). This has been my default Siri voice for at least 5 years. However, after the last iOS update, the AMERICAN VOICE 1 responds to me. No Matter how many times I change the voice, it will change by its self to the American voice.


You gave us voice choices for a reason, if your AI wont allow us to chose the voices we want, then why give us the options to change it at all?


Please fix this bug in your next update. Much appreciated.

This is happening to me too. (I'm also using the Australian voice.) Quick question: Are you in Australia or somewhere where the default assumption might be that you might want the American voice? (e.g. US or Canada or etc.) I'm in Canada and I've wondered if it's selecting a "regional default" when something happens that screws up the voice selection.


Also, just a quick note, no one at Apple monitors this forum, as far as I know. You're only talking to other users, I think. If you want apple to see your feedback, you'd have to report it here: Product Feedback - Apple
