Why will Siri only read new messages?

Suppose I want Siri to reread a message I have previously read, maybe half an hour ago but now I'm driving. However, when I ask Siri to read the last message from a contact, it just tells me there are no unread messages. Why? 😠

iPhone SE, iOS 9.3.5

Most likely this is done for security reasons so that someone can't snoop through your old messages.

As Apple has not made any statements on the matter, no one here would know. You can submit feedback to Apple requesting such a feature here:

Best of luck.
