Each device has access to different TTS services/voices. You can use the `tts-voices` command in your card template to see what voices are available on that device, and then edit your list of voices. See: [Field Replacements - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/fields.html#text-to-speech-for-individual-fields)

For iOS specifically, make sure you have the voices enabled in the right way. [Text to Speech - AnkiMobile Manual](https://docs.ankimobile.net/tts.html)
