Yesterday, I had a toggle in control center to turn off and on announce messages with siri. Now it's not there. Any idea how to get it back?
Got a tip for us?

Announce Messages with Siri Control Center Toggle Missing

My apple watch 5 had the toggle, but my Apple Watch 6 does not. But both of them automatically announce Siri messages. Also my Apple Watch 6 does not have a toggle in the Siri settings on the watch for this. I don't remember if my Apple Watch 5 did.
Anyone else.....

I have it, it’s “greyed out” when I don’t have the AirPod Pros connected though.
Maybe it’s hidden? Scroll all the way to the bottom of control center and choose edit and see if it’s in the hidden section.

The toggle finally showed up for me this morning, so I guess my recommendation is to wait a day or so.
No idea why it finally showed up. I tried using my airpods with the watch yesterday and it didn't help. It just decided to resolve itself overnight I guess.
Honestly I don’t think. I toggled Announce Messages with Siri on and off a few times on my iPhone and that didn’t work.
Maybe something I did had a delayed effectiveness.
I have my APP on right now and connected via BT on the watch in settings and I don’t see the Announce icon either.
I tapped on edit in control center and there was no announce icon. The only hidden icon displayed was a person with his arm raised.
I have the same problem with my apple watch series 3 (watch OS 7). I have tried to restart iPhone and watch, unpairing the airpods 2 and nothing works. The icon disappeared on control center and there is no way to make it return on the apple watch.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Seems to be a bug. I'd hold out for 7.0.1 or 7.1. Otherwise if it doesn't randomly appear like mine did a re-pair may be the only solution.
It has been available on my Watch Series 5 all the time throughout the beta and the final release, but ever since I migrated to my Watch Series 6, I am not able to see the toggle, neither in the control center, nor in the notification settings. On top of that, my Watch Series 6 seems not to show any Messages.app notification if my AirPods Pro are connected directly to the watch. (Just as if it „thinks“ it is in „Announce Messages with Siri mode“, but it is not.
Any updates on this? I still don't have the icon. I've wiped my watch and phone and re-paired to no avail.
Alright, I got it fixed. Basically I followed this thread:
I had to put airplane mode on my watch, disconnect it from phone, change the Siri voice to force a wifi download of a new Siri voice and then restart the watch. After that, I had the icon back. Hope that's helpful, would love to hear if it works for others.

Same here. Just got my Series 6 today. Had Announce messages with Siri working fine on my Series 4. The toggle and Announce messages doesn’t work any longer on the Series 6 but still works with my iPhone. Trying the Siri voice change now.
I turned off BT on the watch and it is charging (at 52% right now) It says waiting to download while your watch charges. I take it I need to reboot when the watch is fully charged and see if the icon is there.
I tried all the shanigans and still nothing no icon, i had it the first week i had my watch after the update, first watch by the way brand new series 6. Had to return the watch back because it was defective, since i restored from my last back up no icon has existed , i have tried everything/

When you mean disconncect from iphone do you mean unpair, not possible. Or simply just turn the phone off. I tried this and did not work for me
I can’t get the watch to download new Siri voices. It still says waiting to download while charging and I charged the watch to 100%. Any ideas how to force the watch to download? It is connected to WiFi at the moment.
