Dictation and Siri not working after iOS 15 Update on iPhone 8

Dictation and Siri haven't worked since update to iOS 15 on my iPhone 8. I already reset my phone back to factory after the update to iOS 15 and again after 15.1, but Siri can't hear me when I activate it with the button. Dictation doesn't work for messaging anymore either. The microphone does still work because voice recorder works. Speech recognition works in the Duolingo app. I currently have the phone reset again with no apps installed other than what Apple loads. I have disabled and reenabled dictation and Siri. I'm on wifi at home and everything on the phone works except dictation and Siri. Sound recognition is off, and I turned the phone all the way off waited and turned it back on.

iPhone 8, iOS 15

Hi wildheavn,


It looks like you're having issues with Siri and dictation and have done quite a bit of troubleshooting.


If that's correct, you'll want to reach out to Apple directly.
