Original AirPods owner, can't currently see it either

I have the original AirPods and have not seen the option in the iPhone's settings nor within the AirPods own Bluetooth settings.

I’ve got the original AirPods. Had them in when I did a hard restart on my iPhone XS and when the phone booted back up, I immediately received a prompt about activating Siri to read my messages.

I selected “not now,” and can’t find any sort of setting to turn it back on. However, I have Siri disabled on my AirPods so maybe that’s why...

It’s in notifications. Doesn’t work well for me though. It’ll read the message but I can’t seem to reply.

Which version of AirPods do you have? I just checked where you posted the pics of and I only have Sounds and Badges...Announce is not there.

2nd generation AirPods.

Anyone been able to get this to work on AirPods 1?

Negative. I get the notification if I turn my phone off and have my AirPods in when I turn it back on, but nothing happens after that

So can we assume this is a feature for second generation AirPods?

Yes. Due to H1 chip.

 

[ADsreb]

Can we find out if Powerbeats pro will support these?

I’m waiting for them to ship and I’m not a developer so waiting for public beta to install iOS 13

 

[Antgb84]

Yes. Due to H1 chip.

Surely! Annoyingly Apple’s classic marketing tricks!

Does anyone know how to turn this feature off?

 

[gwhizkids]

Yes. Due to H1 chip.

I'd like to see some backup on that. The H1 is the "always listening" component. But the announce feature comes out of the phone, just like a phone call would, so I don't see why the always on would factor into this.

Good point. But I think it’s due to the fact you can reply right away. Uses the same method of Hey Siri on the AirPods 2 to save battery.
