iOS 16 voice texting not working
I just updated to iOS 16 on my 2020 SE iPhone. Now I can’t get my mic to work in my texts in order to use my voice to send a message.

Hi JackMick55,
Dictate text on iPhone offers the steps to dictate texts on iPhone:
- "Go to Settings > General > Keyboard.
- Turn on Enable Dictation.
Dictate text
- Tap to place the insertion point where you want to insert text.
- Tap the microphone icon on the onscreen keyboard or in any text field where it appears (as in Messages, for example). Then speak.
- If you don’t see the microphone icon, make sure Enable Dictation is turned on in Settings > General > Keyboard.
- As you speak to insert text, iPhone automatically inserts punctuation for you. You can insert emoji by saying their names (for example, “mind blown emoji” or “happy emoji”).
- Note: You can turn this setting off by going to Settings > General > Keyboard and turning off Auto-Punctuation.
- When you finish, tap the microphone icon in the text window."
If unable to complete that process or if you're experiencing a different concern, provide additional information on which point you cannot do or what is happening.
Regards.
