Dictation not working after iOS 18 and keyboard issues
Ive got an iPhone 15 and recently updated to iOS 18, now dictation simply doesn't work. No matter if I remove the languages and turn off the phone and add them (Norwegian and English), then turn on and off again they simply won't work...
Also, this new "immersive" keyboard experience where you can write in several languages is literally "drowning" me in issues... I write in Norwegian and English, and in Norwegian we have three extra letters Æ,Ø and Å, so if they keyboard is currently in English I have two options to use these letters; I can either starts writing in English and then click the emoji button and it'll switch and the keyboard switches to Norwegian and I can freely use Æ, Ø and Å. Or I can long-press on A and E (where they are hidden) and slide my finger to choose the letter I need.
BUT(!), if at some point the keyboard thinks I'm writing in English and I use an emoji it'll switch back to English and I'm stuck writing in Norwegian and then emoji button and the remove the written Norwegian text and then continue... And god forbid the keyboard is already in English and I have to start a conversation with either Æ, Ø or Å, I'll either have to start by long pressing or finding another way to write that sentence, hit emoji and it'll switch...
This keyboard experience is the absolute worse! It has added writing time and lowered my effectiveness, is there any way to et the old switch back and forth button back? Cause that saved me a lot of time!
