How can I set up Siri to read sent old messages on iPhone?

I am wanting a way to have Siri read a message I sent. Not a new message I’m trying to send. Like if I have conversation with a friend I sometimes forget or want to re hear what I sent as a message to them and I can’t figure out a way to have Siri do this.

Hello!


You can simply scroll up to where the conversation occurred, and then read from there, or you can swipe down in Messages, tap the search bar, then type in unique words you used in that conversation, to help you find it.


Siri can’t find old Messages for you. All it can do is read all the responses from a contact starting with the latest one.


Have a great day!
