Apple Watch Announce Messages with Siri missing

I have had my new Apple Watch series 6 for a few months now and have been using announce messages with Siri feature. It went missing over a month ago and will not return. I’ve restarted watch and iPhone, repair air pod pros, but no good.


please advise, anyone else having this problem?

Good evening B-McD,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


It sounds like Siri is no longer announcing messages with your AirPods Pro and Apple Watch Series 6.


An update for iOS 14.3 and watchOS 7.2 were released December 14, 2020.  Update your devices as an initial troubleshooting step to address this issue.

The resources below will help you with this:


Update your iPhone and restart it - Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Then update your Apple Watch and restart it - Update your Apple Watch

Hi,

Unfortunately the new update to phone and watch did not resolve this problem. Prior to the update I was able to get it to return for 2 days by changing Siri voice (settings > Siri > Siri voice) but then it disappeared again from control center on watch and did not return after recent update. I followed instruction to the letter. Got any more ideas?
