I don't use this particular functionality often but on my old Pixel XL, sometimes when driving I'd use "OK Google" to send a text or read a new incoming text out loud. I've had my Pixel 2 since a few months after launch - recently I've had a few occasions while driving when a text would come in & I say "OK Google, read new text - or - read incoming text - or - read new text from <name>" (I've tried MANY different ways) and she always says "nope" (there are no new texts, no texts from <name> etc.) I *think* if I just say "read texts" she's supposed to read the last 5 texts - that doesn't work either.
I use Textra for texting, I checked my permissions & I think everything is correct - I'm still able to have her send texts using voice - but she refuses to read any new texts - or any texts at all. I've also tried changing back to the stock messenger, same thing happens.
Anyone have any ideas on what I'm missing? I know I can always do a factory reset, & probably will in the near future just for the fun of it - but I'd rather not do it just to fix this when I don't even know if it's just a setting that's not right.
