If you’ve noticed that your iPhone 16 Pro Max’s Siri is speaking way too fast after updating to iOS 26, you’re not alone. Many users have been experiencing this issue, and there are simple ways to fix it.
First, understand that Siri’s speech speed is controlled by the Text-to-Speech settings on your device. When Siri speaks too quickly, it can make it hard to understand what it’s saying, which is quite frustrating.
To fix this, follow these steps:
-
Open Settings: Tap the gear icon on your home screen to go to the Settings app.
ADVERTISEMENT -
Go to Accessibility: Scroll down and select “Accessibility.” This is where speech and voice settings are found.
-
Select Spoken Content: Tap on “Spoken Content” or “Speech,” depending on your iOS version.
-
Adjust Speaking Rate: You’ll see a slider labeled “Speaking Rate.” Move this slider to the left to slow down Siri’s speech. Test it by asking Siri a question to see if it’s more comfortable to listen to now.
If adjusting the speech rate doesn’t solve the problem, try restarting your iPhone. Sometimes, a simple reboot can fix minor glitches after a software update.
Also, you mentioned some bugs with WhatsApp. If these bugs are bothersome, try closing the app completely and reopening it. If problems persist, check for updates both for your iPhone and the WhatsApp app itself. Developers often release fixes for bugs in updates.
Finally, if none of these steps work, contact Apple Support. They can provide more specific help especially if it seems like a bug introduced by the iOS update.
By adjusting the speech rate and keeping your apps updated, you should be able to make Siri more understandable and improve your overall experience.
