Microphone icon disappears during texting

I downloaded the ISS 17.4 update on my iPhone 11:11 and suddenly while I was texting and using my microphone, the microphone would disappear. I assumed it was because my phone was old and got a new iPhone 15 pro. The same exact thing as happening, so it must be the update not the phone. Is anybody else having this issue? It's very frustrating because I will be in the middle of a very long text and microphone goes away when I stop the microphone for a minute and then I cannot get it back and then I either have to send the text as is or the rest of it, which is the reason I used the microphone to begin with.

This may be due to Dictation setting. From Settings > General > Keyboards, make sure Enable Dictation is turned on. If it already on, try turning it off, then back on. Check out Use Dictation on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch for further tips once Dictation is enabled.


It is also recommend to try with Hey Siri enabled if you still have some issues. Check out If "Hey Siri" isn't working on your iPhone or iPad if needed.
