iPhone - speak notifications?

[audi321]

Am I missing something obvious? I would have though that in this day and age, I would not need to get my iPhone out of my pocket to read a text message when I have my earphones in?

There doesn’t seem to be an easy way for me to hear messages on my headphones when they come through.

First world problems indeed!
