Try checking the following settings on your iPhone:


  • Settings > General > Keyboard - check that Enable Dictation is turned on.
  • Settings > General > Restrictions - check that the restriction for Siri & Dictation is not enabled
  • Settings > General > Siri - disable, pause for a few moments and then re-enable Siri.
