Can I change Google Maps voice on iPhone?

Unfortunately you can’t change the voice on Google Maps through the app itself.

There is a way you can change it based on the iOS language settings.

But it doesn’t use a different English accent – it will only switch to alternative languages.

To do this, go to Settings, then General.

Select Language & Region.

Then, Add Lanuage.

Search your desired language.

If you’re wondering whether you can download custom voices for Google Maps, sadly you’re out of luck.

For now, users are limited to only the voices on Google Maps.

That means that even if you have a cool Google assistant voice like John Legend, he can’t tell you how to get to his concert.

An option that does have more voice options is Google-owned maps company Waze.

Waze offers voices including:

• Arnold Schwarzenegger
• Boy George
• Christina Aguilera (in English or Spanish)
• Ed Helms
• Elvis Presley
• Jay Leno
• Kevin Conroy
• Kevin Hart
• Liam Neeson
• Morgan Freeman
• Mr T
• Neil Patrick Harris
• Rob Gronkowski
• Shaquille O’Neal
• Stephen Colbert
• T-Pain
• Terry Crews

and more.
