Hi


The following steps may help (check after each):


If you have not yet done so, update both your iPhone and your Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone (be sure to make a backup first):


On your iPhone:

  • Go to: Settings > Siri & Search - check that Siri settings are enabled.
  • Go to: Settings > General > Restrictions - check that the restriction for Siri & Dictation is not enabled.
  • Go to: Settings > General > Keyboard - check that Enable Dictation is turned on.


Check that you are using a supported keyboard language for your Messages conversation:


Restart your Apple Watch and iPhone, turning both devices off together, then restarting your iPhone first:
