Siri-Read Messages require unlocking

I have the settings in Siri to read when locked and accessibility set with all on also.

Still I can’t get messages read unless I unlock my phone. This is not safe - I need a resolution.

What other posts are you referring to? If you go to Settings>Notifications>Messages, do you have Show Previews turned on? I believe it has to be set to Always for you to be able to allow Siri to read Messages.


What setting are you referring to when you say you have Siri set to read when locked? The only Siri setting I find in Accessibility is about voice feedback.
