Voice search icon in Safari is missing on MAC and iPhone

Is the voice search option in Safari no longer available? I noticed recently that I'm no longer seeing the mic icon in the google search window, only the "camera" icon to search for images (see snapshot below). I do know that I have voice control always enabled on my Mac, but have never had an issue with not seeing voice search in Safari until recently. The icon is no longer in Safari on my iPhone either, which suggests to me that it may no longer be available. I've gone through several troubleshooting tips and nothing seems to work. Thanks for any assistance!

Hello GoodeTeam,

Based on the app developers support website, you'll need to be using Google Chrome to have this option. See Use "Hey Google" voice searches & actions - iPhone & iPad for more information.

"Turn on voice search

On your iPhone or iPad, open the Google app .
At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial > Settings > Voice and Assistant.
From here, you can change settings like your language and whether you want to have a voice search start when you say, "Ok Google.""

If you have feedback or questions for the developer of this feature, you'll want to contact them directly: Google Search Help

Regards.
