My talk to text in messages doesn’t work any more and my Siri stopped working too. Does anyone know why this has happened. It’s been about a week.

Hello Birdie0323,

To help us better assist you, can you let us know more about what happens when you try to use Dictation in Messages, and what happens with Siri? Are you able to use Dictation in other apps?

First, please make sure the correct process is being used for Dictation, so we can make sure that's not part of the issue. This link outlines how to use the Dictation feature: Use Dictation on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Dictate text

To enter text, tap the microphone button  on your keyboard, then start speaking. As you speak, the text appears on the screen. To finish, stop speaking, then tap the keyboard button .

If dictation isn’t sure what word it heard, you'll see a blue line under the transcribed word so you can check it for accuracy. To make corrections, tap the underlined word, then select the correct spelling. To replace a word, double-tap it, tap the microphone button , then say it again, and tap the keyboard button . 

To replace a section, select what you want to replace, then tap the microphone button  and speak again. To add more text, tap where you want to add new text, tap the microphone button , then speak again.

To change the language that dictation uses, long press the microphone button , then select the language you want to use.

If "Hey Siri" isn't responding as expected, please check out this link, which has some information that can help with Siri issues: If "Hey Siri" isn't working on your iPhone

If Siri stops responding

1. Go to Settings.

2. Tap Siri & Search.

3. Tap Siri Responses. 

4. Tap Prefer Spoken Responses to hear Siri speak responses, even when Silent mode is turned on.

Thanks!
