Step 4: Install compatible appsĪs of this writing, more than 80 Apple TV apps support universal search with Siri, and most of them can launch videos directly in response to voice commands. Later, you’ll be able to refer to this room by name in your voice commands. (If this prompt doesn’t appear, try locking and unlocking your device again.) Finally, select the room in which your Apple TV resides. As instructed, unlock your iOS device, turn on Bluetooth, and hold it close to the Apple TV, and then hit “Connect” when prompted on your iOS device to complete the pairing. You’ll now see a “Start Using AirPlay 2” prompt on the TV. On the Apple TV, head to Settings > AirPlay and make sure it says “On.” Then, scroll down and select “Room” from the same menu. To receive commands from an iOS device, your Apple TV must have AirPlay 2 enabled.

Head to Settings > Accounts > iCloud, and then select “Sign in.” (We’ll cover how to enable Apple TV voice commands for other users with separate iCloud accounts shortly.) Step 3: Enable AirPlay 2 on Apple TV Jared Newman / IDG You’ll also have to sign into the same iCloud account on the Apple TV. If you only see your name instead of a sign-in option, you’re already good to go. On your iPhone or iPad, head to Settings and look for a “Sign in” option at the top of the screen, and then sign into your iCloud account. Step 2: Sign into iCloud on iOS and Apple TV Jared Newman / IDG
Repeat this step for any other iPhones or iPads you want to use with the Apple TV. Once you’ve done that, make sure “Allow Siri When Locked” is enabled as well. To set this up, head to Settings on your iOS device, select “Siri & Search,” and then toggle on “Listen for ‘Hey Siri.’” You’ll need to read several sample commands to teach Siri your voice. Here’s a complete guide to getting situated with hands-free Siri voice commands: Step 1: Enable “Hey Siri” in iOS Jared Newman / IDGīy enabling hands-free Siri on your iPhone or iPad, you can start watching things on Apple TV with just voice commands, even if your device is locked. Once it’s all set up, you can say things like “Hey Siri, tune to ESPN on Apple TV,” or “Hey Siri, watch Game of Thrones season eight, episode four on the living-room TV,” and Apple will take care of the rest. Whether this is male or female doesn’t seem to matter both seem to fail.That changed with iOS 12.2, which lets you use hands-free Siri voice commands through an iPhone or iPad. In other words in my case just because I’ve successfully applied the American voice it will still try to download one of the British voices as well. However, iOS (and seemingly WatchOS) has a rule that despite the Siri voice you choose, it needs to have at least one native voice. This has successfully downloaded and applied, and uses the enhanced voice for both Siri and VoiceOver.

Every day during charging it successfully downloads the Siri pack, but then quickly deletes it, and the process repeats the following day.Īs a trial I’ve set the Siri to American Female instead. Without it Siri works with the internet-supported non-enhanced version of the Siri voice, and VoiceOver (and two-finger speaking clock) uses the Daniel voice. In my case I’m set to UK region and the watch is trying to download the British Female Siri language. It seems to be related to the Watch not being able to download and apply the enhanced Siri language pack native to your region. I have the same problem on my new Series 3 running WatchOS 7.1. My watch does the same thing with the American voice, but the change in voice is not as discernible, and the sex stays female when selected.
It reverts to the default male computerized voice and starts the downloads all over again when you select them.įor the Indian female voice, always reverts to a male Indian voice as well. My watch downloaded each of them but was not able to apply them. When you select a British voice, the watch downloads one that sounds more natural for the sex that you select.
I wish that I had better news.įrom what I have observed, in regards to the Siri British voice, there is a default voice that is a more computerized sounding one that comes wit the watch.

The summarized version of our conclusion is that we will have to wait for a patch to fix it.

Because I work in software and hardware development, I was able to give them a lot of useful information in regards to this bug. I was on the phone with Apple tech support for about two hours today.
