Dictation and Siri not working

When I try to record an audio message it plays back static. When I try to use Hey Siri it doesn’t pick up my voice. And it also won’t work for dictation. It’s not my mic because it works just fine for all other apps. I’ve tried all other solutions posted on the web and nothing corrects it. I have an 8plus and it just started doing this in the last couple weeks. Please fix this issue Apple! It’s not just me having this issue and none of the solutions that you suggest work.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

Hello hippypunk,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. It sounds like the microphone on your iPhone isn't working well for dictation. We'll be glad to assist and look into this.


Please complete each step from the articles below:

If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working

If "Hey Siri" isn't working on your iPhone or iPad


Keep us posted with the results.


Cheers!
