Reading your notifications with Siri
Among the features of AirPods little known to the general public, there is a very practical option on a daily basis: reading your notifications. Once this feature is enabled, your AirPods will work with Siri to broadcast your various notifications to the headphones. You will no longer need to consult your iPhone or your Apple Watch to be kept up to date with your messages.
To activate this option, go to your iPhone’s settings and to the “notifications” section. There you will find the “announce notifications” option with the “SIRI” tab. Enable this option and choose to announce notifications when connected to your headphones. You can also configure the notifications you want to be accessible by Siri.
The next time you receive a message while wearing your headphones, Siri will automatically activate to read your notification. If you already have music playing, the voice assistant will lower it so that your message remains audible. What to consult all your notifications without taking out your phone. Convenient !
