Apple's new Siri in iOS 17.4 Beta 1: flexible language selection and wake word customization
Apple has made an important update to Siri in the latest version of iOS 17.4 Beta 1 to provide a more flexible and practical text message reading feature.

This new option allows users to choose one of a range of language options to use to read the information. It's worth noting that this option doesn't change the primary language Siri listens to and replies to.
