I realised the issue… They changed the command to no longer hold the mic button but toggle, so u just need to click it to on and off but didn’t inform the devs to update so all the API above still says “Hold”. This is really bad UX i didn’t expect from Apple…. also bugged me and my family for weeks. Zzzz

SOLVED:

This has been bothering me for weeks and finally solved it. looks like a bug tbh


go to settings-general-Region(yeah REGION)- changed it to US(not sure if other regions will work)- turn OFF dictation - turn ON dictation. VOILA! It should show back up! You definitely can stay in this region but changed mine back to my orig region.

Just don’t forget to turn OFF then ON dictation once you change region
