Missing voice dictation button.

A few months ago, On my dad’s iphone 13, the voice dictation button randomly disappeared. We’ve tried reseting it and going into settings, but for months, it has been gone. Is this a glitch?

Speech to Text Dictation issue Since upgrading my iPhone 13 to iOS 16.0.2, I’m having a problem with speech to text dictation in ALL apps. I get this icon (pictured) that suggests the mic is off. But I know the mic is working (all is good when recording a Voice Memo and taking on the phone, etc.) but for the life of me cannot figure out why the device thinks the mic is turned off, or how to turn it on. I’ve tried settings>privacy>microphone but to no avail. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hi Tman421,

Have you checked Settings > General > Keyboard to make sure Dictation is still enabled? You can learn more about that here: Dictate text on iPhone

We hope this helps.

Take care.
