Announcing messages thru your AirPods

Hello,

If your AirPods are connected, whatever sounds would play on the phone, should play through your AirPods:

Connect and use your AirPods

Go to Settings > Messages & Settings > Notifications and make changes then test again. Note that you can send messages to yourself for testing purposes.

Also, note that if the phone is unlocked, you may not get a sound, just a vibration.

Good luck.

That did not answer his question...

I believe he is referring to the Announce Messages with Siri on AirPods feature that was promised and not yet delivered.

I know where that setting should be but it cannot be found anywhere on my iPhone 11 Pro Max (iOS 13.1)
