I don't know exactly when nor why this happened. The Sound recognition symbol appeared in my Text Message line in the color red. It does not go away no matter what I try. It has been there for days. Probably about 10 days although I did not count.
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17
Here’s a brief history, which will explain why you are seeing that icon:
In iOS 15 and prior, the only logo you saw was the voice recording logo. To do dictation, you would use the microphone in the keyboard.
In iOS 16, they moved voice recordings to a discrete iMessage app, also changing the icon to a microphone, and making it activate dictation. This made it a bit cumbersome to use the voice recording feature.
In iOS 17, they changed it to where it would display your most recently used one. So if I most recently used dictation (via the dictation button in the keyboard), I would see this:
But if I most recently used voice recording (via the iMessage app), it would show the icon you are seeing to allow easy voice recording.
This also is adaptive, depending on the conversation you’re currently in.
If you want to see the dictation button, simply use dictation, and it will revert back to the icon you’re used to.
I hope this helps answer your question!
On my 14 iphone in the message box there is a red icon which I can not get rid of
Yes what does this symbol mean?
How do you get rid if this symbol?

Yes
Thank you for this! So simple!
I need to get rid of the red icon in my message box. Please help me it looks like a speaker and it is speaking the message to whoever. I’m writing it to and I am not happy with that.
Why would the Sound recognition symbol permanently stay in my text Message line
