To stop AirPods from reading messages aloud, you need to disable the "Announce Notifications" feature on your iPhone. This can be done quickly through the Control Center or via Settings. Here are the main methods:
- Control Center:
- With AirPods connected, open the Control Center on your iPhone.
- Tap the "Announce Notifications" bell icon to disable it.
- You can also press and hold the icon to temporarily mute announcements for an hour or a day.
- Settings:
- Go to Settings > Notifications > Announce Notifications.
- Turn off the "Announce Notifications" toggle to stop all notifications from being read aloud.
- You can also scroll down and disable this feature specifically for the Messages app if you want to stop only message announcements.
Disabling this feature will prevent Siri from reading messages aloud when you use your AirPods, providing a quieter experience without interruptions during music, calls, or other activities.
