I just realized Chris and CJ were replying to Debbie’s message, rather than mine, so perhaps my input isn’t needed. However, I may finally have stumbled into a positive direction and thought I’d share. Two notifications just came in, and they were not only announced, but all of the notifications were read by Siri. Unlike I feared, VO and Siri didn’t speak at the same time. I’ll attempt to describe how I stumbled onto where I currently am. As mentioned in prior messages, I had been reluctant to turn on the setting for Siri to announce notifications, hoping to prevent hearing VO and Siri speaking at the same time, so asked if I should turn on the setting for Siri to announce notifications. An answer wasn’t provided, so I decided to turn on the setting, under notifications, for Siri to announce notifications; it didn’t make a difference. I also tried turning on the setting, under Siri Suggestions, to announce notifications just for kicks; no change. After confirming the settings under Notifications Chris and CJ mentioned are correct, I systematically turned on/off anything under Notifications that relates to Siri and notifications. Nothing I did caused notifications to be read on the lock screen. So, I went back to the settings under Siri/Search. Once again, I systematically turned on/off settings; nothing changed. I then went back to the Accessibility settings, under Siri, and proceeded in the same fashion; nothing changed. I then decided to go back and turn on a lot of settings under Notifications, Siri/Search & Accessibility/Siri. The last setting I activated was “Announce Notifications on Speaker”. Shortly after, Siri announced the arrival of a notification and read the entire thing. Was the key to turn on “Announce Notifications on Speaker”? I’m not sure since I had that setting turned on at least once before. It seems to me that the secret is to have a number of settings configured properly, and not just settings under notifications; kind of like a puzzle. Maybe when I went through the settings, to set up the new phone, I changed a default setting that caused notifications to not be read on the lock screen. So, because Siri is giving me what I want, maybe I incorrectly was focused on notifications being read by VO; maybe Siri always read my notifications. By the way, I set up two very different voices for VO and Siri, so I would know who was speaking. I will of course share all of this with Apple Accessibility.

Now when I receive a notification, it just announces 1 new notification but doesn’t read the notification aloud. I have to flick to it and read it that way. How can I get it to read the notification on the locked screen when it comes in? Thank you! Debbie unless -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
