As demoed by Apple back in June, iOS users are now able to change the new female Siri voice to a male voice.

Changing the gender of Siri's voice only takes a few seconds and is really easy to do.

  • Launch the Settings app and tap on General, followed by Siri.

  • Here you can disable Siri, change its default language, as well as point Siri to your personal info and change a couple more settings. The only new setting here is the Voice Gender option.
  • Selecting the Voice Gender option will only display two options to pick from -- male or female.

Should you have decided to change the gender, you can always change it back by visiting this same settings screen.

Keep in mind the option to change Siri's voice will not be available across all languages. So if you're not finding the option on your device, it's likely your language isn't yet supported.

So, what's it going to be, male or female Siri?
