A few weeks ago my phone started reading text messages out loud. These can come from Facebook Messenger or Hangouts or whatever texting apps I have. I'm running Nougat and have searched high and low for the setting to turn this off. Since multiple apps all read text messages to me I would think this would be a system setting rather than an app setting. Still I cannot find that setting. I've read many supposed fixes but many of them are just incorrect. They tell me things like go into settings > voice actions or some such and there is no voice actions under settings ("voice actions" is just an example. I read of many different ones, then I check the posting date and see something like posted in 2013 or something. It's clear to me that the settings selection have changed a lot since then and such directions are just way off).
This should be simple. There should be one setting at the system level that says whether or not to read the text of incoming text messages but for the life of me I cannot find it on my Galaxy S7 running Nougat. Sometimes I start chatting with a particularly aggressive Facebook user and my phone is flying off the hook trying to read all the text messages. It's a real waste of time.
How the hell do you turn this off!
