Does anyone have a suggestion on how to correct this?

Hi there, @Mickmeister. 👋

I would recommend checking out this Apple article to see if this helps: If you don’t hear Siri announcements

Let me know if this helps resolve the issue. 🎧

actually, as i am listening thru my iphone bluetooth Pandora, a notification of a text may appear on my iphone. when I say "hey siri, read text" the phone doesn't hear me. this doesnt exist when i am not using pandora, so pandora somehow shuts out my voice command to "read text"

Thanks, @Mickmeister.

I can share your feedback and experience with our engineering team. Could you tell me more about your device(s)?

Device & Generation: (e.g. iPhone X, iPad Air (3rd gen), etc.)
Bluetooth Device Make and Model:
Carrier:
iOS version: (Settings > General > About > Version)
Pandora version: (Pandora > Profile tab > Settings gear & scroll to the bottom of the screen)
Are you connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data when this is happening?
Have you identified any other patterns or notable information?

Thanks for your help with this. 🎧

Thought I would put this out there. I was not receiving iphone text/WhatsApp/phone call notifications when playing Pandora and connected to a Bluetooth speaker. The solution for me was to go to Settings > Notifications > Pandora and turning notifications on.

For reference, this applied to an iPhone 14 running iOS 17.3.1 in March 2024.
