Who I have the same questioned this topic

Just got the Google Pixel XL, it does not read incoming text messages and I cannot reply to them by voice either. I could do this with my prior phone, Windows.

Just chatted with a Verizon person and they didn't know what to do.

1: Does Google Pixel have this feature of reading text messages through the car's blue tooth and also being able to reply to said messages?

2: If this feature is not available, are there apps that do this for the phone and which apps would these be??
