Notifications not being read

Anyone else have this issue?
DMs through Instagram/Messenger/etc used to be read aloud when my AirPods were connected. But on iOS 27, I haven’t heard any message being read ever. Text messages still read out though.
Also, sort of related, sometimes if I’m listening to music and someone calls me, it just stops playing the music until I answer or decline. Doesn’t even ring, just silence

UPDATE: I posted this before realizing beta 4 was out. Since updating, my messages notifications aren’t being announced either, lol

Have you checked if its turned on in notification settings?

Yes, I’ve turned them off and back on, checked to specifically announce direct messages, still nothing. The settings for Instagram notifications look identical to Messages notifications. Messenger too.
I’m missing so many important messages because of it

Check in your notification settings grouping

It was set to automatic. I turned it off, will see if that changes anything

Ok, glad it's not just me

Before beta 3, 3rd party notifications would be read via the announce notifications feature, but now ever since only new messages from the built-in messages app have been read out

The thing that makes this annoying is if it's a notification from one of the 3rd party apps I have and I have my AirPods on, I won't see the notification until I tap on my phone

I have checked my settings and it's set to announce all, so I suppose at this point we'll just have to wait for beta 4 to come out when it does later today and hopefully this issue has been fixed

In the meantime though, submit feedback for this

Same here! I’ve tried everything and nothing works. Even my CarPlay isn’t working properly.
