iOS 14 how to move microphone icon (on keyboard) to left

Just got my wife iPhone 12 mini, and she is switching from iPhone SE2. She is left handed and uses dictation all the time and wants the (keyboard) microphone bottom left (where the emojis icon is) instead of bottom right. Her hand is too small to reach across the screen and tap the microphone icon. Is there a way to allow for changing the layout?

Where is the mic icon to do the dictation? Iphone 13 Pro Max If you ask me, I would never recommend or buy an Iphone 13 pro max ever again. Everything is complicated not like previous versions. Now where is the mic icon to dictate text? what is the easy way to do this not having to do SMS or imessage which I am not sure how to do sometimes I see it has one or the other names on the top, why is not communicating with other non-iphones for text GROUP messages, why can't I remove myself from a text group and hiding notifications also does not work and you are in forever? So many issues that were never an issue for Iphone users. Loosing my trust, next time I will get a Samsung. So, back to how to do dictation, please give me a simple answer, I am not tech savvy as many of you.

Tips for easier left-handed use of the iPhone Mini I waited for years for Apple to come out with a new, hand-sized iPhone, and finally made the switch from my old SE to the new iPhone 12 Mini this weekend. While I love being able to really hold this phone in my hand, it's still bigger than the old SE, and is more difficult to operate with one hand. To make matters worse, it's not made for left handers. Does anyone have any tips for left-handed users to make the phone easier to use? For instance, there are two things I'd love to do: shift the keyboard to the left, so that I can type with one hand - my left hand! This feature is available on older versions (and perhaps larger versions) of the iPhone, but not for iPhone 12 Mini users. Also, I'd like to be able to move the microphone for dictation from the lower right corner to the lower left corner so I can reach it with my left hand. I can do neither of these things now, without using two hands or loosening my grip on the phone to the point where I can easily drop it. Can anyone help?

Adding microphone on keyboard for dictate typing on iPhone 5s My carpal tunnel makes it often impossible to type. How can I add the microphone icon to my keyboard so I can dictate instead of type for search, email, sms, etc?
