If your AirPods or Beats headphones have been announcing incoming notifications and you want it to stop, you\u2019ve come to the right place. In this guide, we\u2019ll take you through the simple steps to dismissing this feature for good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having Siri announce your notifications as they arrive can be a helpful feature for users of AirPods and iOS devices giving you a quick overview of incoming messages, however it\u2019s certainly not for everyone and can get very irritating in certain situations.<\/p>\n

You might not be aware the feature was turned on in the first place as it pops up as an option during the initial setup of a pair of AirPods<\/a> or certain Beats<\/a> headphones. If that is the case, and you want to turn it off, then the instructions below lay out the simple steps to complete the task.<\/p>\n

\n

  • Or Beats (Fit Pro, Powerbeats, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Solo Pro)<\/li>\n

      1. \n
        \n

        Step 1.<\/h3>\n

        Open Settings on your device<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        To begin, open up the Settings app on your iPad or iPhone. Ensure you\u2019re on at least iOS 15, or later.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n
        \n

        Step 2.<\/h3>\n

        Find Notifications<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        Once in the Settings app, scroll down to the Notifications option. Tap it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      3. \n
        \n

        Step 3.<\/h3>\n

        Tap Announce Notifications<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        Now look for an option labelled \u2018Announce Notifications\u2019. It\u2019s situated under the \u2018Siri\u2019 banner. Once you\u2019ve found it, tap it. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      4. \n
        \n

        Step 4.<\/h3>\n

        Toggle off<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        Finally, it\u2019s just a case of toggling the option from \u2018On\u2019 to \u2018Off\u2019 and you\u2019ll no longer have notifications announced in your AirPods whenever a new message arrives.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

        \n

        Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n
        \n
        Are there any further customisations to how Siri can announce notifications?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

        Yes, with the feature turned on, you can select the apps you wish to have Siri announce notifications from and tweak some of the settings for connected CarPlay devices.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
