Hello chiu289,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having trouble with a Bluetooth microphone that you connected to your iPhone. It also sounds like the Dictionary is not working. We're happy to help. Are you able to use other Bluetooth devices with your iPhone? Is your iPhone fully updated? In case you need to update your iPhone, back up your iPhone to secure your information and data.

Hello chiu289,

 

Thanks for the additional information.


Based on the information you have provided, no Bluetooth device works with your iPhone's keyboard. We're glad to hear that your iPhone is fully updated. We have a couple of more questions to narrow down the cause of this issue. Is your Bluetooth device working to listen to music? Is this only happening with the keyboard dictionary? Have you checked your Privacy settings for any restrictions? Go to Settings > Privacy > Bluetooth. Then, go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone. Try unpairing the Bluetooth device and then pairing it again. We'd also recommend checking your Accessibility settings, go to Settings > Accessibility > Siri.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

So these are the answers to your questions:

No, all of my bluetooth devices doesn’t work with keyboard’s dictionary. My iphone is fully updated to the newest version 14.3. I don’t got any beta programs. I wonder if it is actually siri’s problem or not. I want to record a video to you but i can only take photo here. Plz reply again!! Thanks for your response btw.

Thanks for the response again.

All My bluetooth devices works with the music app. I am using apple music family plan. It works just like normal. This is happening on both hey siri and dictionary, I can’t use both siri and dictionary when connected to my bluetooth device. Also, I’ve checked all of my privacy setting on both microphone and Bluetooth, they are on for all the apps. This problem is not very serious and not really important to fix. I just want to make my phone more convenient, but it will help a lot of this problem can be fixed. Sorry for my bad english I’m from Asia

Edited: I’ve tried restarting a couple of times but it still doesn’t work.
