Hi Mooree69,


When you have a pair of AirPods paired with your iPhone running iOS 15 or iPad running iPadOS 15, you can enable Announce Notifications by tapping on the following:


  1. Settings
  2. Notifications
  3. Tap on Announce Notifications.


With this feature turned on, Siri announces incoming notifications from apps such as Messages and Reminders, and from supported third-party apps. Siri reads your incoming notifications out loud when your headphones are connected to your iPhone or iPad, you're wearing them, and your device is locked.

Reference these and additional information from Announce notifications with Siri on AirPods or Beats.



Regards.
