In the latest development for iOS 17.4, Apple has introduced a significant update that allows users to assign specific languages to Siri when it reads out their messages. This feature aims to enhance the user experience for individuals who primarily use Siri in one language but often engage in conversations with people speaking different languages.

To access this new functionality, users can navigate to the Settings menu and select Siri & Search. From there, they can choose the option for Messaging with Siri. Within the "READ MESSAGES" section, a new button labeled "Add Language..." has been introduced, offering a vast range of language options.

The subtext accompanying the new feature states, "Siri will also read messages using the languages in the list. This will not change the primary language Siri listens to and responds in." This means that users can add multiple languages to the list without altering Siri's primary language for other tasks.

It is worth noting that iOS 17.4 is currently in the developer beta stage. However, a public beta version is expected to be launched in the near future, possibly as early as tomorrow or within the next week.

In addition to the language customization update, iOS 17 also brought the ability to invoke Siri by saying "Siri" instead of just "Hey Siri." With iOS 17.4, Apple is expanding its support for more languages that are compatible with this new voice activation feature.

This latest update further showcases Apple's dedication to continuously improving Siri's capabilities and adapting to the diverse linguistic needs of its users. With iOS 17.4, users will now have more control over how Siri reads their messages, granting them a more personalized and seamless communication experience.

As iOS 17.4 moves closer to its official release, Apple users can look forward to these exciting enhancements that will undoubtedly enhance their interactions with Siri and streamline their message reading process.
