My Apple Watch cannot use dictation at all.

So for the past couple of weeks, my Apple Watch‘s dictation feature has not been able to be used. Whenever I try to use Siri on my Apple Watch, Siri always responds with “Sorry, could you say that again?” Also, whenever I try to use the dictation feature to text on my Apple Watch, it replies to me every time with “Dictation failed.”

Use the side button to turn off your Apple Watch. Then press your side button to turn on your Watch again .

Restart your iPhone by pressing the home button and power button at the same time. Also check your Internet connection.

If all these procedures do not work you should check your Apple Watch side microphone holes.Try to clean it of dirt with a tissue or a soft cloth. If that does not work you should check your device into an Apple store .
