Good Morning, Last week was frustrating without the "luxury" items of Siri and dictation. Apple had me try all sorts of trials and tribulations and had me waiting for a patch. No patch came, but yesterday, I tried and both Siri and Dictation were working. It had to be something on their end! Well, whatever it was, I am happy the phone is working again.

I just spoke and texted with "APPLE" - and they are aware of our problem (mine is no dictation and no Siri) and they are working on a fix. Let's hope it's in 16.0.4 when it comes out.

Yep!
