Thanks for reaching out marjanfar,


It sounds like the microphone icon is greyed out in Messages. We can help.


Try checking the following settings on your iPhone:


  • Settings > General > Keyboard: Check that Enable Dictation is turned on.
  • Settings > General > Restrictions: Check that the restriction for Siri & Dictation is not enabled
  • Settings > General > Siri: Disable, pause for a few moments and then re-enable Siri.
  • Check that the keyboard language for the Messages conversation in question is set to English or another supported language.


If you still run into difficulty after those steps, you can Contact Apple for support and service.


Hope that helps.


Take care.
