Can Siri Read My Messages?

Published in Technology 2 mins read

Siri, Apple's virtual assistant, can read your messages under certain conditions.

Siri can read your messages aloud when you receive a new notification. This feature is called "Announce Messages" and can be enabled or disabled in the Settings app.

Siri can also read your messages if you ask it to. For example, you can say, "Hey Siri, read my last message from John," and Siri will read the message aloud.

However, Siri cannot access the content of your messages without your permission. If you don't explicitly ask Siri to read your messages, it won't have access to their content.

It's important to note that Siri only reads the messages that are allowed to be announced by your phone's settings. If you have set your phone to not announce messages from specific contacts, Siri won't be able to read them.

Additionally, Siri only reads the messages that are visible on your phone. If you have deleted a message, Siri won't be able to read it.

Siri only reads the messages that are in your default messaging app. If you use a third-party messaging app, Siri won't be able to read your messages unless you specifically grant it permission to do so.

In summary, Siri can read your messages, but only under certain conditions. It requires your explicit permission or when enabled through the "Announce Messages" feature.
