My devices/observations:
iPhone SE 2nd Gen
- with iOS 15, Voice Control and Siri work fine, can be enabled and disabled without issue
- after upgrade to iOS 16, Voice Control and Siri work fine, can be enabled and disabled without issue
- after upgrade to iOS 16.1, Voice Control and Siri work fine, can be enabled and disabled without issue
iPad 7th Gen:
- with iPadOS 15.6, Voice Control and Siri work fine, can be enabled and disabled without issue
- with iPadOS 15.7, Voice Control and Siri work fine, can be enabled and disabled without issue
- after upgrade to iPadOS 16.1, Siri works fine, Voice Control does not. If enabled, the voice control mic indicator in the upper right stays grey with a slash through it and does not respond to any command.
Have tried:
- confirmed the mic physically works by successfully recording a voice memo
- disabling then re-enabling Voice Control
- rebooting
- Killing all apps

Use Voice Control on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Have successfully enabled, disabled, and used Voice Control in iOS15, iOS 16 and iPadOS 15. But on my device, after updating to iPadOS 16.1, the feature no longer works as described or expected.
Have not yet tried full reset or downgrade to 15.7
I've contacted support and they seem interested & helpful but no answer yet so I'm wondering if anyone else is struggling with this has any tips or workarounds.
thanks!
