Device Settings Question I'm trying to find if newer phones have an accessibility option that's on my mom's 2020 phone, to read out who is calling/texting.
My mom has an old LG Harmony 4 phone, which is showing its age. We are looking for a new one, but she wants a specific feature that we can't seem to find on newer phones.
The Harmony can read out who is calling or texting, so it'll say "new message from husband" or "call from 555-555-5555". She loves this feature, since she knows if she needs to check it immediately or can ignore it, without having to look at it. I think the setting is called "Messaging/call voice notification".
We were going to get her a Moto g stylus 2025 (since the rest of the family has Motorola phones, and we can help her learn the new interface), but can't find a comparable setting. A Samsung Galaxy A16 or A17 is also an option, but no one else in the family could help her with the menus.
Does anyone know where if could be hiding? We've tried looking in accessibility, notifications, and the phone app settings.
We're getting kinda desperate for an option. Thanks in advance for any help.
