Announce notifications

[PapaKlevs]

So i have a S25 Ultra and when i had iphone i used the announce notifications feature religiously. When i switched to the S25 i learned about modes and routines and learned thats how samsung does their version of announce notifications rather than it be a regular setting in the control panel. Well the announce notifications for the S25 does not work the way i need it to. First off, on iphone, if you got a text from a bot or whatever or something thats just a seriously long message siri would let you know the notification is long and then asks if you would like it read to you. Samsung, nope if you get sent something from, lets say Hot Topic, and it includes a web link, that announce notifications feature is going to read you every single letter of that link. So not only that but for some reason if someone sends me an image on messages my other unread messages will all be read to me once again. If anyone has any workarounds or i can share my modes and routine settings and other settings to see if its just me messing up. Ill tackle this problem first and then move on to figuring out why the google assistant sucks one day and then works fine the next day.

Yeah I wish they added the Announce feature as a main setting that you could adjust my sister has a iphone and she has it toggled on and she loves it.  For years I used a app that read the notifications out loud until it was discontinued on the S23 and wasn't able to use it any more.  I have the Routine that reads some things out loud but I've started to use Zedge and download load notification sounds that just says the app name.  

Google Assistant has been getting updates lately and its getting worse for me also.  I can ask it something and nothing or it does something completely diff. then what i asked.

Im gonna keep complaining everywhere i can and maybe they can get a fix done in time for the 8.5 ui update. That or back to iphone i go lol

[GaryB82]

I'm on 8.5 and they haven't changed the announce feature.

[PapaKlevs]

Welp then might just have to go back to iphone. It wouldn't be a big deal if the announce notifications feature was so important for my job

[GaryB82]

I understand they are a few apps on the app store that reads notifications that I've used that worked similar to iPhones announce feature for free and then premium features if you paid for the app.

It could get fixed with a Play System update, but here we are.
