Voice

This tweak disables the voice recording button in iMessage

If you use Apple’s Messages app as your primary means of talking to people each day, then you’re probably accustomed to seeing the app’s voice message button in the text message composition field. This button lets you record yourself speaking and send your voice as an audio clip as opposed to typing it out or using Dictation to send a written message.

While this feature has its uses for a small subset of niche scenarios, you’ll probably very seldom use it if you don’t like recording yourself and prefer sending written messages. For those people, a new and free jailbreak tweak called AudioMessageBeGone by iOS developer burrit0z swoops in to save the day.

How to have Siri automatically read incoming text messages out loud to you

AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max kept on an orange table

Siri can optionally read texts out loud to you through your AirPods or Beats headphones as soon as they arrive, allowing for true hands-free messaging when your hands are busy. This feature is called Announce Notification (earlier called Announce Messages with Siri).

Being able to quickly listen and respond to an incoming message is no doubt an awesome enhancement. You aren't required to double-tap or press an AirPod in order to summon Siri and ask her to read out loud the text you just received.

Follow along with iDownloadBlog's step-by-step tutorial to learn how to set up Siri to have her automatically read incoming messages out loud.
