    The iPhone X introduced a great privacy feature with notifications on your screen. Notifications remain hidden until, you look at the phone. Great.

    Now Siri won’t read out anything on your screen unless you enter a password. Not great.

    What’s the point of that? Phone is in my pocket. I get a text. Hey Siri read text/reply to text. Now… I can’t do diddly unless I enter a passcode.

    Didn’t I already train Siri to listen to my voice with “Hey Siri!”?

    So there is no option to have privacy and utility? I can disable the privacy aspect and have notifications display. Siri will then happily read them, and let me reply. That’s not what I want.

    I want my privacy cake and eat it too…

    Generally it’s always strict privacy against a bit of inconvenience. Siri is not that good at learning your exact voice pitch and this would have created a security nightmare if Apple enabled that feature. In fact they’re really trying to avoid getting sued for such issues.

    Is there a setting on the X to always show previews for notifications?
