Voice control not listening

Voice control is turned on in settings on iPad but voice control microphone icon in status bar has a slash through it. How do I turn microphone on so it listens to me.

Greetings janicehiggins,


If you are having difficulty with the microphone on your iPad, begin by following the guidance found here:


If the microphones on your iPad aren't working


"If the microphone doesn't work in a specific app

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone.
  2. Make sure that the app is enabled.
  3. If the app has permission to access your microphone, or if it isn't listed, contact the app developer.

If you still don't hear your voice clearly, contact Apple Support."


Take care.
