iPhone Dictation not working iOS 16

Thank God I only updated one phone to this IOS. I am lost without dictation.

please keep us posted.

Siri dictation broken. Keyboard dictation broken. My brain 🧠 <-> phone bandwidth reduced!!!

It’s not broken, but it’s not working, right.

repeating questions and words again over and over.

not typing the right words. a lot of other stuff but yeah BROKEN

Have you tried switching to a UK keyboard?

Works, great with the UK keyboard. Thank you.

I just noticed this issue today. Same issue as everyone else with IOS 16.0.2. Changing to English/UK keyboard works. Weird.

I switched to UK keyboard but it too eventually stopped working! 😂

Siri still not working

This was the FIX!!! American Siri must have gone to work for Google!! I hope they fix it soon....I can't afford accent lessons.

None of the work arounds seem permanent

just updated to ios 16.0.3 and this is still broken!!! 😡

Agree with others. iPhone is pretty much a brick to me without dictation. I’m stuck using my Android phone until this is fixed.

This is weird, but adding the English (UK) keyboard fixed the issue!

And I read about that solution and tried it just for "fun" only AFTER the Apple agent had my wipe and restore my phone entirely.

How did you ever think of this? It works!!

(I wish I had read your solution BEFORE all I went through, to no avail!)

Oh that's awesome @LocalGuy217! That band-aid worked for now!

Thank you for this. Adding the English (UK) keyboard gives me back speech to text.

How about Siri? Have you discovered a workaround for Siri to work again?
