Have Siri announce incoming calls

Quick answer

With Announce Calls on, Siri says who's calling through your AirPods, and you can answer by just saying "yes" — no screen needed. Turn it on in Settings > Phone > Announce Calls and pick when, like "Headphones Only." Useful when driving or when your phone is out of reach.

Say this

“Announce calls”

How it works

  1. 01Open Settings > Phone > Announce Calls
  2. 02Choose when, such as "Headphones Only"
  3. 03With AirPods in, say "yes" to answer when Siri announces a caller

If Siri doesn't get it

If callers aren't announced, confirm Announce Calls includes headphones, and that contacts have names saved so Siri can read them.
