hello becky
thank you for your reply.
I have performed your suggested course of action.
I restored the iPhone using iTunes.
I set it up as a new phone.
and the problem still persists.
you are not quite correct in your description of the issue.
let me explain:
I am not using 'hey siri'
I am connected to the iPhone with a Bluetooth headset.
I am activating siri by pressing and holding the home key
siri asks me what I want to do and I hear that over the headset.
I say 'text bob'
siri says 'what do I want to say to bob'
I say 'hello bob'
siri then shows the text display 'hello bob' on the screen but does not repeat it audibly.
siri asks 'are you ready to send'
if I say 'read', siri will then read 'hello bob' to me.
if I say 'send', siri will send it.
so if I turn on hey siri
and I say 'hey siri, text bob'
siri will ask 'what do you want to say to bob'
I say ' hello bob'
siri will then audibly say 'you message is, hello bob, do you want to send'
prior to 1 week ago, when I pressed the home key to activate siri, an audible recite of the message would automatically happen without having to ask siri to read the message, just like if I use hey siri.
I would love to get this feature back....
did I turn something off?
is this a function change with the software?
is this an issue?
thank you
bill
