Google Now can do a lot of interesting things. It surfaces relevant information when you’re most likely to need it and answers your questions and requests as efficiently as it can. But one thing it couldn’t do before was read text messages aloud to you. Its competitor Siri could, but Google Now was still returning search results when you asked it to show or read your SMS. That has changed, uhm, at some unknown point in the past. Some users report it working for over a month at the very least, others say they tried it last week and it didn’t work.
