Can Siri announce full notifications from a Face ID-locked app on AirPods?

Is there a way to have an app locked via Require Face ID/Touch ID while still allowing Siri to announce all notifications from that locked app on my AirPods?

Example: My Messages app is locked; however, Siri only says "A notification from Messages." Is there a way for Siri to read out the full message that was sent?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 27

I found a solution! I did some digging through settings and found that if I set “Notification Previews” to “When Unlocked” or “Always,” Siri will read out the full notification for a locked app.
