New phone user here. Every time I receive a text message, I get a verbal announcement: Incoming text from John Doe. Or Incoming text from 800-555-1234. I cannot figure out where in the settings to turn this off. I don't mind if I get a chime or sound, but I don't want the phone announcing the name or number out loud.
Thank you.

Go to settings --> Accessibility Look under SYSTEM Caller ID & Readout and check Ring Only.. that should stop the issue..b33

I checked the settings, and it already said Ring Only, so I switched it to one of the other things, received a text and then switched it back to Ring Only to maybe force the setting.
No go. So I'm still looking for a solution. Thank you for your input.

That sounded promising, but it didn't work either. I'll keep trying and post back if I figure it out. Thanks for the ideas.

Try checking if Talkback is disabled under settings / Accessibility / Talkback... If this is enabled disable.

Yep, TalkBack is turned to off. I've tried doing a hard power-down every time I change the settings. The phone is still announcing calls and texts.

I'm assuming the answer is "No", but just checking! Have you downloaded an app such as eCID? (This can be configured to speak the name of a caller and the author of texts and emails, as well as read the entire message). Hopefully you would have remembered had you done so!
