After reading several threads on the forum over the past few days I decided to update my iPhone 10 to IOS 13.1.2 today. When the update completed and my phone began to talk again the voice had changed from UK English Serena to Daniel. I went into Settings and tried to change the voice back to Serena. My settings say that Serena is the selected voice. I have tried selecting a different voice and then re-selecting Serena but when doing this nothing happens. I have tried to play a sample of the Serena voice but all I get is the Daniel voice saying “Hello, I am Serena.” Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might be able to change the voice? Thanks.

Update....
Four hours after my original post the voice suddenly changed mid sentence from Daniel to Serena! Very odd and will now wait to see if the voice changes again.
it won't!
Had the same issue exactly during one of the 13 updates. Since then it's normal.
Hilarious
That’s hilarious. I’m glad it sorted itself out.
Having Daniel say Hello, my name is Serena... That’s just too funny. I’d love my voice sounding like a drag queen. Just for the novelty. LOL!!
The reason it didn't change
The reason it didn't change post haste is it needed to redownload the voice. Give it time, you will be ok.
I had the same issue
I had the same thing happen 2 me when I updated. changed from Ava to Samantha. got it sorted out. and from what the tech said I was 1 of the lucky ones. & this is an issue they were aware of & working on a fix
Thanks.
Thanks for the comments. It did make me think that maybe Serena had chosen a career as a drag queen or that she just had a sore throat but it now seems to have settled down and she is now back to normal!
