Red audio symbol in iMessage text box

In only one of my text groups, I have this audio message symbol and I inadvertently sent a one-minute audio to a whole group of people (😬). Thank all that is holy I didn’t say anything bad or talk about anybody. I can’t figure out how to get rid of it!

Did anyone figure out how to remove the small red record audio icon that's right near the text message box, where you would type a message? I think it's too easy to hit accidentally. I have had dictation enabled for a long time, but cannot find a way to get the microphone icon back. I went to the plus sign and don't see it.


I don't want to have the red record icon right near the send button. It appeared there after I used the record feature once for a voice note and now won't go away. It's only affecting that the thread with that one person.
