Voice text messaging

hi I seem to have lost my ability to send a “Voice“ text message. Not sure if I accidentally changed some settings. Any advice on how to fix this?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hey Tita_Leticia,


We'd be happy to help out. Sounds like you're unable to use your voice to send a text.


To clarify, are you using Siri to try to do so or are you just using dictation by tapping on the microphone in the Messages app while within a thread with your onscreen keyboard up?


If this is a dictation issue, make sure you have Dictation enabled under settings > General > Keyboards > Enable Dictation. For more info, check out: Use Dictation on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If this is an issue with using Siri to send a message, the following will be of help: Use Siri on all your Apple devices - Apple Support


We hope this information helps out.


Take care!
