Apple Finally Lets You Make Siri Sound Like You Want

Beta testers can adjust Siri’s Pace and Expressivity as Apple rebuilds the assistant around generative AI.

  • Apple released iOS 27 beta 3 yesterday, enabling AI-powered Siri voice controls for Pace and Expressivity that were previously labeled "Coming soon" in earlier developer releases.
  • First introduced at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, these features are part of Apple's broader effort to rebuild Siri around generative AI for a more natural experience.
  • This approach mirrors OpenAI's ChatGPT, which lets users customize voice warmth and enthusiasm. OpenAI rolled out similar customization options in December 2025 alongside style and tone configurations.
  • By adjusting sliders, testers can personalize speaking speed and emotion, testing settings by hearing Siri say phrases like "You have one new message" to gauge different voices.
  • The update also includes minor changes like an updated Reminders app icon, though some testers are reporting issues with data re-indexing or losing Siri access after updating.
