I would like to have Voiceover speak incoming notifications out loud on my phone or watch and can't seem to do this with iOS 17 any more.
I am new to having an Apple watch, but remember that I used to have my phone read notifications out loud when they came in.
Now with iOS 17 and the phone and the new watch, I cannot seem to be able to have any notifications read out loud. When new messages or calendar alerts come in I only get a vibration on my watch.
I've looked through all of the Voiceover and Notifications settings that I thought might affect this both on the phone and watch, but can't seem to find anything that will announce incoming notifications out loud as they arrive.
I assume this is possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Also, as a side question, I don't quite understand how the phone and watch in combination might act regarding announcements. Can one set just the watch or just the phone or both to speak notifications as they arrive?
What do other people do here?
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.
