Part 1: Why is my iOS 17 Personal Voice not showing?

iOS 17 software bugs, restricted region and language, corrupted voice sample, and unknown system issues will lead to iOS 17 Personal Voice not showing.

The bugs brought by the iOS 17 software may be the main cause for this phenomenon. And some regions and languages are not totally supported yet, so you cannot see it on the Live Speech. In addition, if your iPhone is not charging or in locked mode when the voice data is processing, you will also be unable to use that voice in Live Speech. Last, unknown system issues can also lead your iPhone to some unexpected things.
