Coincidentally, yesterday evening, my phone did similar. It didn't so much
change to the default voice, but Siri got weaker and weaker, as if the signal
wasn't getting through properly. I did a soft reset and it sorted it out for
now, but this does point to a software glitch.
Cheers

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

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.

Subject: [access-uk] Siri is taking coffee breaks
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
