Airpods and Siri

Will Siri only read short messages? When my phone is locked, Siri will read some messages, but at times Siri will say I have a message and when I ask what the message says, Siri says I must unlock the phone.

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Hi retiredmailwoman,


We understand you have questions about Siri announcing Messages when you're wearing your AirPods. You can expect Siri to read messages when you're wearing your AirPods and your iPhone is locked, if it's a long message it would be expected for Siri to let you know there's a message for you.


The following page provides some additional information: Announce Messages with Siri on AirPods


We hope this helps!
