Voice to text stopped working after update

Hello PL77,

From what you can tell, is your microphone working for other functions such as calls and Siri? We just want to confirm if that is playing a role in this, and here's some further troubleshooting for the mic: If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working - Apple Support

Let us know what the results of those steps are and we'll go from there.

Thanks!

Hey PL77,

Since it sounds like the microphone is working, make sure that you're trying the correct steps from Send and receive messages on iPhone - Apple Support. Audio messages look a little different in iOS 16. The following is from that article.

Send a recorded audio message

Instead of writing a text message, you can quickly record an audio message that can be played right in the Messages conversation.

Audio recording is an iMessage app. In a Messages conversation, tap  to show the app icons below the text field, tap , then do one of the following:

• To record and review before sending: Tap  to record, then tap it again to stop recording. Tap  to review, then tap  to send the recording or  to cancel.

• To record a message and send it immediately: Hold .

Note: Your audio message disappears from your conversation two minutes after you send it, unless you tap Keep. Recipients can still play your recording. To always keep audio messages, go to Settings  > Messages > Expire (below Audio Messages), then tap Never.

To make an audio or video call instead of sending a message, you can switch to FaceTime . In a Messages conversation, tap .

All the best.
