If you are an iPhone user, you might have experienced Siri announcing or saying your messages out loud, which can be pretty annoying, especially if you are listening to something else or in a public place. Fortunately, turning off this feature is pretty quick and easy. In this article, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of how to stop Siri from announcing your messages on your iPhone, AirPods, car speakers, and more.
First, head to your iPhone’s settings and scroll down until you find the “Notifications” option with a red bell icon. Tap on it, and you will see the second block – “Siri Announce Notifications On.” Tap on it, and you will be presented with options to customize how you receive notifications from Siri.
If you want to turn off this feature entirely, you can toggle off the “Announce Notifications” button. However, if you want to turn it off for specific instances, such as when connected to headphones, you can do that too. You can go through each app and choose which ones should allow Siri to announce notifications and which ones should not.
For instance, if you only want to hear your text messages read out loud, you can toggle off all other apps, leaving only the “Messages” app on. You can also customize the settings for CarPlay and turn off announce notifications if you do not want Siri to announce notifications while you are driving.
In conclusion, turning off the Siri read messages feature on your iPhone is pretty easy and straightforward. By following the steps above, you can customize how you receive notifications from Siri and avoid any interruptions while listening to music, podcasts, or other audio.
