iOS 16 upgrade siri not reading back outgoing imessage

Is this a feature or a bug? I appreciated hearing Siri automatically read back the text I created before sending- now all i get are "send it?" I don't want to READ what I just dictated - I want to know if Siri understood what I said before the message is sent.

I've read all the previous possible fixes for this vis a vis other iOS versions but cannot find an answer for this iOS 16.1.2

TIA

iPhone 12 mini

Had the same issue, very frustrating. But found a way to change it back to where Siri reads the text back and then ask you to send it or not.

Goto Setting, in the Search bar at the top of the screen.

Then type in Siri & Search , just like it is shown here.

Then goto “ Automatically Send Messages”.

If the toggle button is green, touch it and it should turn off and now will be gray colour.

That is what I did and tested it and it worked for me.

Good luck if you haven’t resolved this issue yet.
