You can now customize Siri's pace and expressivity in the latest iOS 27 beta
Image: Primary Apple has enabled new controls for Siri's voice in the third beta of iOS 27. In iOS 27 beta 3, out today, the company activated sliders for "Pace" and "Expressivity" that had been labeled "Coming soon" in earlier developer betas. The update gives testers the ability to adjust how quickly and expressively the AI assistant speaks. The feature was first introduced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Beta testers can now switch between a range of voices with different accents and use sliders to change how slowly or quickly Siri speaks and how much human-like emotion its voice conveys. The controls are part of ongoing improvements to Apple's AI-powered Siri. (Sarah Perez, TechCrunch, July 6, 2026)
