Dictation & Scribble missing on Apple Watch

Dictation & Scribble are missing on my Apple Watch Series 3 in Messages when chatting with an Apple user.


But when I am chatting with a non-Apple user the options are available.


Other people with Apple Watches that I know do not have that problem.

I have tried restarting my watch, but the issue remains.

Why is that?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

What language are you communicating in?


Scribe is not available in all languages.


There is little info in the OS6 manual, https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/watch/apd92a90f882/watchos


Scribble a message: Tap , then

write your message. As you write, turn the Digital Crown to see

predictive text options, then tap one to choose it. Tap Send to send the

message.

Note: Scribble is not available in all languages.
