Greetings Wardo211!


Looks like you are having some trouble with your iPhone 12 not being able to use Dictation in all apps. We want to help! Make sure you allow access to the mic in the apps that aren't working. You can do that by going to Settings > Privacy > Microphone > Enable the app that you want to use dictation in.


We hope that helps! Take care.
