To enable voice notifications for the Clock on your iPhone, go to Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content, and turn on either Speak Screen or Speak Selection. While the built-in Clock app doesn’t offer direct voice announcements for alarms or the time, you can use Siri Shortcuts or third-party apps like “Time Announcement” to set up spoken time alerts or hourly chimes. This way, your iPhone can read out the time or notifications aloud based on your setup.
