Since upgrading to 8.2 on iPhone 5 dictation in iMessage and WhatsApp drops out intermittently mid-sentence. You then have to type a space, and press the microphone button again. It won't let me finish phrases anymore. Anybody else have this issue?
iPhone 5, iOS 8.2
II've had this problem with iMessage and inside of Safari. I don't think this is app specific, but rather a basic iOS-level problem.

Thanks for replying—I hope more people will report so that this can be addressed. It's rather annoying, as it is a feature that I find truly handy.
I noticed this yesterday. I'm a big whatsapp user... I just tested the dictation feature in facebook messenger and messages and they seem to be working as normal.
I think that I may have found the solution... Here's a quick recap...
I upgraded to iOS 8.2 Saturday morning (March 14). I let Apple handle everything without intervention and once the upgrade was complete I happily went about my day -- but discovered mid afternoon this weird problem with dictation. After replying to your original post I was fiddling around with it a bit longer and observed that the problem was even worse than I suspected. What I found was that dictation was completely hung. No matter what app I tried, dictation was not indicating that it was even listening. (e.g. There was no motion on the voice-oscilloscope indicator.) So, I decided to just restart the phone -- this is the first restart since the original upgrade. Once it restarted I immediately checked dictation and it seemed to be working flawlessly. I played around with it for nearly an hour afterwards trying all kinds of apps and situations and it worked fine. (Now my only gripe is that when I use dictation to send a text message using Siri, she's a little too anxious to send the message!)
So -- I think that the problem may have been caused by some kind of post-upgrade process. So if you haven't restarted your phone since that time you might give that a try and see if it resolves your issue.

Hello,
re-start doesn't clear this up for me, unfortunately. And my experience is that dictation works fine in messenger and facebook messenger. I don't use siri otherwise, so I wouldn't know.
Thanks,
Pete
