Siri Not Speaking when Reading MessagesI

I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and AirPods 2nd Generation. When I have my AirPods in They will not play my iMessages. When listening to music, the AirPods volume will dem and I will not hear Siri say anything. I have Announce Message with Siri and its still not working, I have also restarted my phone several times.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hello SimpleTechUser,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We understand that Siri lowers your music volume when you get a message as if to read it but you cannot hear Siri.


Does this happen when your screen is locked and dark? We're asking since this feature doesn't work if you are using your iPhone.


When your AirPods are in, if you ask Siri a question, can you hear a response? Make sure that you have Announce Messages with Siri turned on from Settings > Notifications and from Settings > Siri & Search > Announce Messages as mentioned in Announce Messages with Siri on AirPods.


Take care.
