Many years ago, I had a non-Android flip-phone that had a text-to-speech user preference. Since moving to Android, I have never found a way to command any SMS app, including Messenger, to pass incoming texts to TTS. When driving, with the phone in the "hands-free" holster required by local law, I'd prefer to hear every SMS immediately when it's received. Otherwise, even such an option on the long-press message menu would be welcome. (I imagine it would be "marked as read" after being read TO me.)
