Set Siri To Announce Notifications on iPhone 17

In this video, we’ll show you where to find this setting, how to turn it on, and when it works with supported headphones, CarPlay, and compatible apps on iOS 26 and later versions. If you’re driving, working out, or using headphones and can’t look at your iPhone 17, Siri can automatically announce your notifications out loud so you don’t miss anything important. With Announce Notifications on Speaker enabled, Siri reads alerts and messages through your iPhone speaker — and in some cases, even lets you respond using your voice without saying “Hey Siri.”
