Apple Watch dictation sending double texts

Apple Watch SE, iPhone 15, both updated to iOS 18.1 or whatever the most recent update is. Whenever I dictate a text on my watch, it repeats in the same message, sometimes three or four times. If I say “Coming home!” It will appear like this “Coming home!Coming home!Coming home!”


I have turned both my phone and watch off and back on again and it has not changed. Any thoughts would be helpful!

Same. I’ve noticed that if I switch from dictation to another input method before sending, the duplication doesn’t occur. But I’m using dictation because I don’t want to be tapping around on the Watch screen. So there’s that.
