If you’re like me, you might find it annoying when Siri reads out your notifications aloud. Fortunately, there is an easy way to put an end to this. By following a few simple steps in your iPhone settings, you can customize Siri to your liking and prevent it from reading notifications out loud.
To begin, navigate to your iPhone settings and look for the Siri & Search section. This is where you can find all the options related to Siri’s behavior and functionality on your device.
Once you’re in the Siri & Search settings, take a moment to look for the Announce Notifications option. This feature is what controls whether Siri reads out your notifications or not.
When you locate the Announce Notifications setting, tap on it to proceed. This will bring up the submenu where you can make changes to how Siri interacts with your notifications.
Within the Announce Notifications submenu, you will see a toggle switch labeled Announce Messages with Siri. By default, this setting is turned on, as indicated by the green color of the toggle switch.
To stop Siri from reading notifications, simply toggle off the Announce Messages with Siri switch. This action will disable Siri’s ability to read your notifications out loud, providing you with a more silent and discreet notification experience.
Once you have turned off the Announce Messages with Siri feature, you can exit the settings menu and go about your day knowing that Siri will no longer disrupt your privacy by reading out your notifications.
Remember that you can always go back to the Siri & Search settings if you decide to enable the Announce Messages with Siri feature again in the future. The process is simple and can be done with just a few taps on your iPhone.
By taking control of how Siri interacts with your notifications, you can tailor your iPhone experience to suit your preferences and eliminate any unwanted disruptions caused by notification announcements.
So, the next time you find yourself irritated by Siri’s habit of reading out your notifications, remember that you have the power to stop it with just a few quick adjustments in your iPhone settings.
Enjoy a more personalized and seamless notification experience on your iPhone by customizing Siri’s behavior to align with your preferences and needs.
