Greetings yolandanj!


Looks like you are having some issues with getting Siri to announce your messages via your AirPods Pros. We can absolutely help get that feature working again! Start with the steps listed in this article: Announce Messages with Siri on AirPods. Specifically this section:


If you don’t hear Siri announcements
If you don’t hear Siri announcing your messages, try these steps:
Make sure that you're using a compatible device.
Make sure that your AirPods or compatible Beats headphones are paired to your device in Settings > Bluetooth.
Go to Settings > Notifications > Announce Messages with Siri and make sure Announce Messages with Siri is turned on. Then tap Messages and make sure that Announce Messages with Siri is turned on there too.
Make sure that your iPhone or iPad is locked and its screen is dark. Siri doesn't announce messages if you're using your device.


Take care!
