Announce incoming text messages with CarPlay
Use CarPlay to have Siri automatically read your incoming text messages and listen for your response.
On your iPhone, go to Settings
> Siri & Search > Announce Notifications, then turn on Announce Notifications.
Tap CarPlay, then choose any of the following:
Announce New Messages: CarPlay starts your drive with Announce Messages active and reads your incoming text messages aloud.
Silence New Messages: CarPlay starts your drive with Announce Messages silenced and doesn’t read incoming text messages automatically.
Remember Previous Setting: CarPlay remembers whether Announce Messages were active or silenced from the previous drive.
Note: You can also enable or disable Announce Messages directly in CarPlay by tapping Announce when Siri reads an incoming text message. See Have Siri announce notifications.
