Siri asks if I want to reply before reading the text

The Siri on my mom's older phone (iPhone 8) used to read her texts and THEN ask her if she wants to reply. In the last few days, it says "you have two new messages, would you like to reply?" We have tried everything in settings. Anyone else having this issue?

Since an iPhone 8 has a home button with Touch ID, you should force restart:


  1. Press and release the volume up button.
  2. Press and release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.



If you are experiencing an issue, contact support.


Good luck! 👋🏼😉
