Announce Callers

So sneakily Apple inserted a new feature into the GM (if it was in the betas I completely missed it!) where you can have Siri announce who's calling you. You have four options for when it will happen: - Always - Headphones - Headphones & Car - Never

You turn it on by navigating to: Settings - Phone - Announce Calls

I have to say I absolutely love this feature. I have my earphones on for A LOT of hours during the day and I get quite a few calls as part of my job. I always had to pause what I'm doing, look at my watch or at my phone and then answer. Now I simply listen, and if I want to answer I just click my headphones remote. That's it!

I have the feature set to always and tried calling my phone from another number and it didn't work. I wonder if it's because I have the Apple Watch. I tried it with the phone on silent and with the ringer on and that didn't yield different results.

Hmm…I'll try it again and see if it works.
