The voice I listen to is gone 😔

After the new ios26.2 update all of the voices have changed and I can no longer listen to the voice that I used to - Nicole. It’s extremely annoying because I got used to that voice and all of the others sound too fake or the tone sounds wrong. If there’s any fix I’d love to know it

Voice

2026: After the Apple software update of ios26.2 and the Apple being the most rest update the voices changed and the voice that I used to listen to disappeared. I believed the voice was ‘Aaron - English’ looking at the high definition and standard versions the name wasn’t there, which I was disappointed with. When trying the 3 day free trial version, there wasn’t any voice option that I liked so I don’t think I would use the paid version after the trail ends.😓
2025: I have used this app for a year, so and I have never experienced this issue till today. When I listen to the text I had pasted and fast forward a few times it just stops speaking, I had to restart the app in order for it continue the reading 🥲. The issue still persisted even though the app is in the most recent update and my device is in the most recent update.
