Messenger mic records audio instead of voice to text

I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and when I reply in Facebook Messenger, I prefer to use the mic for voice to text. But it instead records an audio file.

I'm pretty sure a few days ago it worked correctly, but then I got some message about Messenger using my mic and camera and it started calling the person I was replying to in Messenger. It was a Facebook call, not a regular cell phone call. I couldn't even end the call by hanging up.

Currently, I have the mic and camera turned off in Settings/Messenger. When they were on it seemed that's when it started making a phone call in Messenger

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 17

Are you using the Microphone located on your keyboard or within Messenger?

Check your settings => General => Keyboard and turn on => enable Dictation

place the cursor where would want to place the text, then press the microphone symbol on the keyboard below the return key. after finishing recording, press the microphone again.
