Since updating to 13.3 ‘speak text’ no longer works. Anyone else... or just me?

Yep. That’s fixed it. The update had switched the speak screen button off.

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content
Is Speak Selection and Speak Screen on?
Assuming you haven't accidentally turned the setting off, reboot your phone:

Hi. Tried that, no change. Siri will speak the last message but ‘speak’ on the drop down menu is silent. Worked before the update.
Glad that was it.
