microphone icon on iwatch

Where is the microphone icon on my iwatch? I got a new iphone 12 and when I want to reply by voice to a text message there is no longer a microphone icon. Where is it?

Missing green bar to answer calls on iPhone Hi. Up until recently, when I got a phone call, I could answer it on my Apple watch, then continue conversation on iPhone by tapping on green bar at top of iPhone screen. Well, that green bar has now disappeared, so when I answer a call via my watch, there’s no way to pick it up on my phone. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have not sound when i get a message when the phone is locked, I get alerted on my iwatch only Since upgrading to IOS 17 then 17.1 I am unable to get any sound for text messages when my phone is locked. I get my haptic on iwatch (which has also been udpated) but no way to get sound for messages on my phone . I have been in and checked every setting I can find to make sure the sound is on. I do get alert sounds when my phone is unlocked (which isnt needed when i am looking at it) . Very frustrated. I have turned the sound on my iWatch so at least I hear it .

In the Watch app on the iPhone, go to General/Enable Dictation
