Live Voicemail outside the US

[Camerondonal]

I suppose the imminent release of iOS 17.4 is the last hope we users outside the US have of being granted Live Voicemail before iOS 18. It baffles me that Apple has chosen to confine this useful feature to the United States - it's not, after all, as if their voice recognition systems cannot cope with non-American accents: we've had Siri and dictation for donkey's years. But I wish I felt more optimistic: Live Voicemail beta forerunner voicemail transcription never left the US either

Typical Apple! Nonsensical segregation of services worldwide.

it works and always worked since it was released, in canada

Highly doubt it will roll out outside of the US and Canada in the short term.

At this point in time Live Voicemail can often struggle to understand American accents and it was literally designed in America. It's probably for the best that they take their time to roll it out.

It works fine with British accents (at least those who have called me).

Fair enough, I hadn't realised it was available in Canada as well

But here in Britain, for example, Siri works fine, and so does dictation (mostly). The tech doesn't struggle with British accents

That does not surprise me in the least
