Why is my iPhone reading my text messages out loud and how do I turn this off?

My iPhone 14 is reading all incoming messages from Messages, Instagram, Messenger and What's App out loud and I never set it to do this. I also don't know how to turn this feature off.

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

Does it happen only when AirPods/Headphones are connected?


Check the setting at Settings > Notifications > Announce Notifications. If you have that listed it Settings, it can be shut off there.
