A TalkBack update does not update your TTS. As such there is nothing more to write about it. The default TTS on most phones these days is the Google TTS. An update to the TTS has constrained certain voice options, so if you don't want the TTS situation on your phone to change, just not update/install Google TTS. Keep TalkBack updated, it is independent of the TTS. You can also use other TTS voices with TalkBack. The free eSpeak by the Eyes-Free Group could be one option, there is a paid version of eSpeak available from another developer that provides more eSpeak voices including the Klatt variant. But the free version is fine. If you have to change the TTS option, you can change it from settings/language and input. Best,
