Check AirPods are Connected

Of course, the AirPods need to be connected with the iPhone to use the Announce Notifications. If this feature was working perfectly before and now stopped suddenly, then you need to check the AirPods connectivity with the iPhone. It seems like the AirPods disconnected from the iPhone due to some reason.

• Go to the Settings app > Bluetooth. Check AirPods are connected or not.

Announced Notifications Turned Off for Specific App?

AirPods won’t announce notifications for a specific app? Were you exploring settings or giving the phone to someone? If yes, then kindly check the Announce Notifications settings; if it is disabled for the app, then enable it.

1. Go to the Settings app,
2. Tap Notifications.
3. Select Announce Notifications.
4. Scroll down and locate the app for which Announce Notifications are not working.
5. And enable it.

Change Announce Message Type

Furthermore, there are one more settings that need to be checked. Announce Message Type has two criteria, announce Time-Sensitive Notifications and All Notifications. Despite what option is set, you can switch to one another and check if Announce Message with AirPods is working or not.

1. Open the Settings app on iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap Notifications. Choose Announce Notifications. Enable Announce Notifications toggle and Also Enable Headphones toggle.
3. Go to the app with which announce notifications are not working.
4. And switch to Time-Sensitive or All Notifications.

For the Messages app, App is categorized with “Time-Sensitive Notifications” and “All Notification”. Sometimes, that’s ridiculous because unwanted Promotion and Transaction messages are not helpful to listen to. I recommend to Enable or choosing Time-Sensitive Notifications.

That’s the Customisation for announcing messages on iPhone and iPad running on iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or later updated models.
