Why AirPods Do Not Announce Messages

Your AirPods may not be announcing messages if they’re not set up correctly. To make sure your AirPods are set up correctly, go to the Home app on your iPhone or iPad and tap the AirPods in the Accessories section. From there, make sure that Announce Messages with Siri is turned on. If it isn’t, simply turn it on and you should be able to hear Siri’s announcements when you receive a message. Additionally, make sure that Do Not Disturb is turned off for your device and that you’re not using your device when a message arrives.

Can AirPods Read Text Messages?

Yes, your AirPods (second generation), AirPods Pro, Powerbeats Pro, or Beats Solo Pro headphones can be used to read text messages aloud. To enable this feature, you must have the latest version of iOS 13 or later installed on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Once enabled, incoming text messages and iMessages will automatically be read out loud to you through your connected AirPods.

Increasing the Volume of AirPods Message Announcements

To make your AirPods announce messages louder, you’ll need to adjust the notification volume within the Settings app. First, open the Settings app and navigate to Sounds & Haptics. Here, you’ll find a volume slider that controls the notification volume for both when your AirPods are connected and when they are not. Adjust this slider to your desired level and your AirPods should now announce messages at this new volume.

Conclusion

AirPods are a great way to listen to music, podcasts, and other audio on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Not only do they offer excellent sound quality and battery life, but they also have some neat features like automatic pause when you take them out of your ears and the ability to announce incoming notifications. With the addition of iOS 13, AirPods now offer the ability to read incoming messages aloud, allowing you to stay connected even when you’re away from your device. Overall, AirPods are an excellent choice for listening to the audio on the go.
