Can’t find Announce Messages with Siri

I have an iPhone XS running iOS 13.3 and 2nd gen AirPods but I cannot find the option to Announce Messages with Siri. It is not in Notifications or Siri & Search. I have disconnected/“forgotten” my AirPods and turned off my phone multiple times. Has anybody found any other work arounds to get this setting to appear?

Had the same problem and found the solution...

Plug in your AirPods and bring your iOS device near them.
Open the lid, while the AirPods are still plugged in, to initiate pairing and firmware update.
Make sure they paired by going to Settings > General > About and seeing AirPods listed near the bottom of the list.
Go back to the main screen of Settings and continue to Notifications. You will now see the “Announce Messages with Siri” option.

Good luck!!

Hello,

Hmm, maybe your AirPods need to be connected at the time. Try opening the case and put the AirPods in your ears.

Then go to Settings > Notifications > Announce Messages with Siri and turn it on.

Good luck.
