Question

Read aloud voices disappeared with latest update to Edge on iOS.

About a week ago I updated Microsoft edge on my iPhone and afterwords, all the natural read aloud voices disappeared. There may actually be more voices than before but they’re all robotic. Is there a way to fix this so I can get the natural voices back?

Hello. After the latest Edge update on iOS, some users reported that natural read aloud voices were replaced with robotic ones. Did you already check if the content settings in Edge are enabled on your iPhone?

You can check and go to your iPhone Settings, find Microsoft Edge, then enable options like “Analyze Content” or “Download Content.” This allows the natural voice files to load again. If voices still sound robotic, reinstalling Edge often restores the full set of natural voices.

Best regards,

There was no Analyze or Download Content setting. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked but was a hassle because I had 100+ tabs that I keep saved so I had to move them all to tab groups to sync. Thanks though, got there in the end.

There's also a new pinned tabs feature that wasn't available until I uninstalled and reinstalled. Very strange that I didn't have these features after a normal update to latest version.
