Siri doesn’t read back voice to text messages

After an IOS update Siri no longer reads back text messages and only says “send it.” When my phone is connected to my car or headphones Siri will read by my text messages but when my phone is not connected to any other devices she won’t read back what I had said. I have already made sure that automatically send messages is turned off and I also have prefer spoken responses turned on.


As a person with a disability I am greatly affected by this change as I do not always have my phone close by or within reach. There needs to be an easy fix for this as this change has to affect a large number of people with disabilities.
