Hey Damontewalker,
To confirm, let's make sure Announce Notifications is turned on. To check, follow the steps below:
- "Open the Settings app.
- Tap Notifications.
- Tap Announce Notifications.
- Turn on Announce Notifications."
If you continue to have the issue, go through the troubleshooting steps below:
- "Make sure that you're using a compatible device.
- Make sure that your AirPods or your compatible Beats headphones are paired to your device in Settings > Bluetooth.
- Go to Settings > Notifications > Announce Notifications and make sure that Announce Notifications is turned on.
- 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."
