iPhone 16e dictation not working after iOS 18.5 update, despite basic troubleshooting I gt an issue with the dictation feature on my new iPhone 16e after updating to iOS 18.5. Since the update, the dictation function is no longer recognizing my speech. I have already tried basic troubleshooting steps including restarting the device, toggling the dictation setting, resetting the keyboard dictionary, and even a complete reset of the iPhone. The microphone itself appears to be working correctly as I can make and receive calls without any issues. This lack of dictation functionality is significantly impacting my ability to use my new phone effectively. I would like to know what steps can be taken to resolve this issue, or if this is a known bug that will be addressed in a future update. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Considering you provided no information on your issue or how it’s failing, I’m going to say it’s user error.
