Why is the ability to read incoming text messages limited to Bluetooth devices with the H1 chip? Is there a technical reason for that?

Why is the ability to read incoming text messages limited to Bluetooth devices with the H1 chip? Is there a technical reason for that?
- gumby 7y agoI assume it's because the only devices with that chip can identify themselves as being "in ear". So you don't have your phone loudly announcing an embarrassing message for everyone to hear (as my gf's Alexa tried to do). The problem is you could conceivably enable this in a "safe" setting like your car...only to have an embarrassing message spoken on an occasion when you have a passenger in your car.
