Hi MZindel,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand that dictation isn’t working on your Apple Watch. We’re happy to help.


To start, make sure you’re running the latest watchOS version:


Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support


If these two apps are the only ones not working with dictation, try the steps in the article below. While the title may not seem to pertain to your issue specifically, these are good steps to try for issues with apps:


If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support


If that doesn’t help, try unpairing your Apple Watch and setting it up again. When you unpair your Apple Watch, it automatically creates a backup as long as you’re signed into iCloud on the paired iPhone.


Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Let us know if that helps.


Have a great day.
