Hi Barry,

A good guess but no, I think I have about 200 GB free memory. When this Siri voice disappearance episode happened I went into VoiceOver Speech settings, the status of both Siri female UK and US showed as if they have not been downloaded, and when I tapped on them nothing happened and I could not select either of them. Other voices did not suffer during those episodes whether they were high or low quality and I was able to select them, and that included the Siri male UK voice.

Regards,

Amro

How much memory have you left on your iPhone, Amro?  My gut instinct is that 
there isn't quite enough to  run the enhanced Siri voice, so it defaults to the 
un-enhanced.  If you're nearly maxed out, try deleting an app or two and see if 
that sorts it.

Cheers

Hi all,

Sorry about the title but thought that would draw your attention.

Before I go through the hassle of reinstalling my iPhone’s software I thought 
I’d check if anyone else is having this below oddity or a similar one.

I use Siri female UK as my VoiceOver voice. Since installing iOS 13.4.1, Siri 
voice has twice disappeared at random and was replaced by the default voice of 
VoiceOver. The disappearance lasts for a short while, and then Siri female 
voice comes back online at will! And no, a soft reset doesn’t solve the 
problem; I can only sit tight until Siri finishes her coffee break and comes 
back on.

So, my question is, has anyone seen a similar behaviour on their iPhone?
I’m trying to figure out if this is the doing of the new version of iOS and I 
just need to wait for the next update, or if it is the actual software on my 
iPhone that developed a glitch and it needs a fresh software install.

Regards,

Amro
