Dictation and Siri not working

When I try to record an audio message it plays back static. When I try to use Hey Siri it doesn’t pick up my voice. And it also won’t work for dictation. It’s not my mic because it works just fine for all other apps. I’ve tried all other solutions posted on the web and nothing corrects it. I have an 8plus and it just started doing this in the last couple weeks. Please fix this issue Apple! It’s not just me having this issue and none of the solutions that you suggest work.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

Hello hippypunk,

hippypunk,


Thanks for the information.


Use these steps to get help with apps: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open


If you're continuing to experience the same thing, please reach out to the app developers: How to contact an app developer


Have a great day!
