Apple watch Scribble and dictation

After the WatchOS 8 update my watch no longer allows me to Scribble or dictate messages. I have Dictation turned on but the microphone doesn't appear and the Scribble option isn't available either. Instead the only way I can send a text is from my iPhone. My Watch is set to mirror my iPhone. How do I fix this? Can I remove the last update and restore to a previous version? I'm so frustrated and upset with this latest update.

Found there is a solution on another thread. Still very annoying it has to be re-enabled on a per message basis: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253476847
