Live text is missing option from my iPad ios 16 How do I get the settings toggles to turn on live text? My iPad has iOS 16.2. There is no toggle to turn it on under camera settings or under languages and regions. My camera will also go into live mode, but there is no option for text. My husband has the exact same iPad, and our settings are exactly the same, except I updated my iPad earlier than he did period. His iPad has the toggle under camera, it has a toggle under languages and regions. Both of our systems are exactly the same, except i have NO live text option. It was supposed to be automatic with the iOS 16 update, and it’s not even a selectable item on my iPad. After this last update my text dictation doesn’t work in mail or Facebook messenger. Since we can’t go back and reload updates, How do I turn on something that’s not there when it’s supposed to be there? How do I turn on live text when there is no toggle? What do I do about my dictation problem please help

I tried what you said in your message, but when I point the camera at the text, the live text icon does not appear.
