Hi tkkz71,


  1. On the iPhone XS Max, the microphone is in a different spot, and is now under the return button in the bottom right corner.
  2. If it's not there go to Settings > General > Keyboards > Enable Dictation
  3. Try restarting the phone if Enable Dictation is turned on and you still don't see the microphone.


Reply back if problems are still occurring.

Hope this helps.
