iPhone dictation mic disappears, doesn't type in Messenger

Why does my microphone disappear and reappear on messenger.


I need to use dictation to type text and the microphone comes and goes and works /doesn’t when it wants to.


Where is the button on iPhone to make my microphone work when I push it to use voice to text? Sometimes I push it and it just keeps playing and listening and not typing.

iPhone 16e, iOS 26

I’m referring to voice to text not sending an audio message.


Seems like the voice to text microphone works when at wants and it only appears when it wants. Could this be a key logger issue.
