Hey Damontewalker,


To confirm, let's make sure Announce Notifications is turned on. To check, follow the steps below:


  1. "Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap Notifications.
  3. Tap Announce Notifications.
  4. Turn on Announce Notifications."


If you continue to have the issue, go through the troubleshooting steps below:


  1. "Make sure that you're using a compatible device.
  2. Make sure that your AirPods or your compatible Beats headphones are paired to your device in Settings > Bluetooth.
  3. Go to Settings > Notifications > Announce Notifications and make sure that Announce Notifications is turned on.
  4. 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."

Hope this helps. Take care.
