What does HiFi’s voice setting change?
The HiFi voice setting picks the voice HiFi uses when it speaks with callers. Your choice applies to all HiFi conversations, including screening calls and taking voicemail messages. You can preview each voice before you pick it, and you can change it at any time.
Preview and choose a voice
On Home, tap the profile button in the top corner to open Account & settings.
Under Phone preferences, tap HiFi voice.
Tap the play button next to a voice to hear a preview.
Tap the voice you want to select it.
The screen explains: “Choose a voice for HiFi. Your selection applies to all HiFi conversations, including screening and voicemail.”
HiFi uses your new voice on the next call it answers.
Can I change how HiFi sounds in other ways?
You can change what HiFi says, but not its tone or speaking style. HiFi doesn’t have a separate tone setting. To change the words HiFi uses:
Write your own greeting. See “Customize HiFi’s greeting”.
Change the name HiFi uses. See “Set the name HiFi uses with callers”.
Troubleshooting
The voice list is empty or won’t load: HiFi loads voices from the internet. Check your Wi-Fi or mobile data connection, then open HiFi voice again.
You can’t hear a preview: Turn up your phone’s volume and check that silent mode is off.
