How to announce incoming text messages with CarPlay

by Kevin Hollington

Use CarPlay to have Siri automatically read your incoming text messages. It’s one setting on your iPhone, Announce Notifications, and you can also enable or disable Announce Messages directly in CarPlay when Siri reads an incoming text message out loud.

  • On your iPhone, go to Settings > Announce Messages, then turn on Announce Notifications.

Note: When Siri reads an incoming text message in CarPlay, tapping Announce enables or disables Announce Messages right there.
