iPhone 13 pro max dictation stops working

iPhone 12 Pro Max dictation is switched on but quickly stops not allowing dictation. Each text I want to dictate I need to restart the dictation. I get one text out of it. I have powered on & off, nothing solves it. Shows dictation is on but will not allow dictation. How do I fix this problem?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hello lorifromalcalde,


We noticed you mentioned your iPhone is running iOS 15, which is a bit outdated. We'd suggest updating to the latest software version, which is iOS 16.3.1, to see if that resolves the issue you're experiencing with dictation on your iPhone. If needed, find out how to update your iPhone here: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If the issue persists, make sure you have the feature turned on in Settings > General > Keyboard. Learn more about how that works here: Dictate text on iPhone - Apple Support


Take care.
