Read aloud messages

I have an old car and therefor do not have apple carplay. Is there a way Siri will read aloud my incoming messages when driving without CarPlay?

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Siri asking me which app to use to send a text message When I’m driving and ask Siri to send a text message, she asked me which app to use. This is new behavior. I am not aware that I have any other app to use that messages. This is making voice text messages while driving unusable.

Siri doesn’t read back voice to text messages After an IOS update Siri no longer reads back text messages and only says “send it.” When my phone is connected to my car or headphones Siri will read by my text messages but when my phone is not connected to any other devices she won’t read back what I had said. I have already made sure that automatically send messages is turned off and I also have prefer spoken responses turned on. As a person with a disability I am greatly affected by this change as I do not always have my phone close by or within reach. There needs to be an easy fix for this as this change has to affect a large number of people with disabilities.

Siri asks which app to use for text messaging Why does Siri ask me which text to use for text messaging? I’ve only ever used one app to text message. How do I fix this? I can’t while driving anymore because of this issue.

You may use Siri. For example, you may say:

”Hey Siri, read my last message from Bob.”
