I can't use the microphone icon to reply a message on my Apple Watch

hello, seems the microphone icon on the messaging app is disabled knowing that it was working fine before.


Note that Siri and dictation are enabled, and both my Apple Watch and iPhone are upgraded to the latest versions. I also tried to check restrictions on my phone but all seem to be working fine.

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 7
