I assume you are referring to the dictation feature because if you type your message, as soon as you are done it will not type anymore. If so, you must tap the microphone to stop transcribing then tap Send. Otherwise it will continue to type what you are saying.

Well, it seemed like it worked at first and now it's doing it again and I've tested it multiple times and still can't get this thing to stop typing

Try a Forced Restart as this sounds like a software issue.


  • Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  • Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  • Press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo
