Q: Siri Is Not Reading Back My Texts With iOS 7

With iOS 6, I could dictate a message to Siri while holding my iPhone to my ear.  With iOS 7, Siri just asks, "ready to send it?"  I can't figure out if this is no longer a feature (which would not be helpful!) or if there is a new setting I need to enable.

 

Thanks in advance.

    I am having the same issue and it is very annoying.

     

    I used to be able to send texts by telling Siri "send text to xxx I'm on my way home." Siri would then read the text she wrote and asked if I am ready to send. Now all I get is a beep-beep after giving the command. I have to look at the screen to review the text. If I tell Siri "review" she gives me a list of available commands, including review, but doesn't understand review.

     

    What is the point of handsfree assistance like this if you have to pick up the phone and look at the screen? iOS 6 worked much better for this. You took a step back Apple.

     

    To make it more frustrating, if I simply dictate text to Siri it understands "review" and types it perfectly, but will not recognize review when editing texts as notes above.
