Apple’s default Siri voice assistant has no gender. Yes, you heard it right. You can ask Siri about its gender, and it will surprise you with the answer. The default Siri voice is set to American female. However, if you are not a fan of the default selection, you can change it to male or change the accent based on your local region.

Starting with iOS 14.5, Apple is focusing on Siri voice options to raise awareness about diversity. There are now two additional American English voices, and they are termed as Voice 1-4, replacing the old male and female combo. In addition, Siri will no longer default to the female voice but will instead prompt you to pick one of your choice during setup.

iOS 14.5 comes with plenty of other new features as well. Make sure to read about all the new iOS 14.5 features here.
