microphone apparently on doing dictation

how to get rid of the microphone that shows up whatever you’re doing a dictatorship. It is very annoying and that covers part of the sentence that you’ve just finished dictating.

Hello Jackbron,

In order to get rid of the microphone icon you would need to turn off the Enable Dictation feature. Follow these steps if you want to turn it off.

Settings > General > Keyboard.

Scroll down to the section titled Dictation. Here is where you can turn dictation on or off.

If you want to keep the microphone but just don't like that it is in the way when part of a sentence is covered by it, we recommend leaving feedback for Apple

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care!
