Siri stopped reading my text messages

A few weeks ago, Siri stopped reading me my text messages. I used to always be able to say, "read me my last text message" and Siri would promptly read it to me, ask me if I wanted to respond, then let me respond by voice as well.
I was on iOS 7 and NOTHING changed, but one day a few weeks or so ago, Siri started just telling me that I "have no new messages" even when I clearly had new messages that just came in.
I updated to iOS 8 the other day thinking it would probably fix it.
It didn't. I can't figure out how to get it to work again.
I have not completely erased the phone and reinstalled iOS 8. I might try that, I just wanted to see if there's another known fix first before going through all of that.
Googling has turned up plenty of others who have had this bug too, but I can't find anything recently or anything that has actually fixed it for people.
Any known help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi DigitalDuderino, 
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know this issue must be very frustrating considering that this issue just started happening without you making changes. I would recommend working through the attached article’s troubleshooting steps to help isolate and resolve this issue.

  • Why does Siri not read my text messages to me?

    Why does my Siri not read my text messages to me?

    If your phone is locked with a passcode and you ask siri to read any new text message, Siri tells you to unlock it first, which you do by entering the passcode and the moment you do that Siri says 'OK' and starts reading your message without you doing anything else.
    However if you have not set the passcode in your phone and if your phone is locked (which means you have yet not done 'slide to unlock') and you ask siri to read the message then you will hear nothing..there will be silence ..and then 'siri will ask you to reply or read it again'. If you want to hear the message then first slide to unlock your phone and then ask siri to read for any new text messages and you will start hearing your message.
    Let me know if this does not work.
    Cheers

  • Siri stopped reading my texts

    Siri used to read me new text messages when I asked her to. She stopped and won't even show the message on screen. How do I fix this?

    Read the User's Guide, it details basic troubleshooting.

  • Siri and reading new text messages.

    Why is Siri no longer responding "would you like to reply or read again" after reading back a new text message?

    I never said there wasn't a change. What you expect and what Apple is planning or doing may not always be the same thing.  Speculation is prohibited on these forums but, I'll repeat what I said before and hope you can figure it out: Apple has said there will be new features and improvements in Siri with iOS 7. Sometimes, features get removed for various reasons in beta products and are put back in the later releases.
    And, since you've never beta tested a product for two years, you must not have used Gmail until rather recently.

  • How can i get my iPhone to automatically read my text messages?

    like the iphone ads show, how can i get Siri to automatically read my text messages as they come in?

    Enabling preview for text messages will allow SIRI to read the text messages during a locked screen, as long as Siri is turned on for lock screen use.

  • How can I make Siri read my text messages to me?

    I saw the instructional video and it showed a woman receiving a text message via Siri, and she picked it up and answered it via Siri. I know how to send that way, but can't get Siri to read my text messges to me. Can someone tell me how that works? Thanks,
    Sandy

    Johnathan,
    Can Siri record a voice memo?
    Do you know if it can read older text messages by just asking?
    Thanks

  • Siri Wont read my text!!

    Hello all, When I get a text from Siri , and she lets me know i have the choices of reply or read it , she wont read it , how do you enable the phone to read the text messages?

    Hi,
    This might fix your problem:
         Go on the Settings app > General > Accessibility > Speak Selection > On.
    Now Siri should be able to speak your message. If this still doesn't work, you can go in your Messages app, double-tap the message that you want Siri to read, and tap Speak.

  • How do you get Siri to read your text

    I can't seem to get SIRI to read my text aloud...it's silent for a few seconds, then it asks if I want it to read it again??

    Tell it to read your new text message.  Or if you know who texted you tell it to read the text from Mike, for example.

  • How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone?

    How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone?  I have the 4s she has the 4.  When she got the latest update, everything on our phones synced.  She got her own apple id, but she is still getting all of my text messages.

    This is with iMessages only, and because she has the same email address available and selected under You can be reached at at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

  • Siir doesn't read me text messages

    Siir will not read the text message. She says read it again but never read it the first time. How do I fix this issue?????

    It must be marked as unread or Siri will not read it.
    There is no "fix" for this.

  • HT3529 how can you tell that someone read your text message?

    How can I tell if someone has read my text message?

    Text messages, i.e. SMS or MMS, do not have a "return receipt" feature. iMessages, however, do. If you're sending via the Messages app, your friends need to turn on the "Send Read Receipts" option in the Messages settings on their iOS devices.
