The scent with Siri message in an iMessage is not properly labeled to voiceover users

Category
Messages
Severity
Minor

Description

The button indicating that an iMessage was sent with Siri, located to the right of the message, is labeled as "Replay" instead of "sent with Siri."

Steps to reproduce

To test this, ask a friend or someone to send you a message, but be sure that they use Siri to do so.
Once the messages received, open up the conversation and question, locate the message that was sent to you, and notice that it just says "replay ", instead of sent with Siri. You will know that it was sent with Siri because when you double tap on it, you will get the information about sending messages with Siri.

Hi,
As soon as I got word via Mastodon that iOS 26.1 was available, I downloaded it onto my iPhone 16 pro max.
I just tested it & saw the "sent with Siri" message.
For those who are affected by this, what devices are you using?

ok, so, this is wierd.
I'm seeing this bug on my Apple watch Ultra, but not my iPhone 16 pro max, both of which have now been upgraded to OS26.1.

I have my phone updated to iOS 26.one and I’ve noticed that this also shows up if for example, someone unsend a message. For example, if someone unsend a message, it says something like John unsent a message. However, for messages like this, it just says replay.

I also see this for scheduled messages. If you schedule a message, instead of the time the message is to be sent and the word edit, all you hear is replay. This is actually an improvement over iOS26 though. In that, if you have multiple scheduled messages to one person, then you change the date on one of them, the original date and time will be displayed next to the edit button rather than the new one.
