Hi tylergardens13,


For help with dictation and the microphone on your iPhone, test the steps below found in the article here: If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working


"Clear the microphones

  1. Remove any screen protectors, films, or cases from your iPhone.
  2. Clear any debris from the openings of your iPhone. "


Be sure to continue with the additional steps in the section "If you want to try more steps on your own" from the same article.


You'll also want to be sure your iPhone is running the latest available iOS: Update your iPhone or iPad


If the issue continues, reach out to Apple support directly to further assist.
