Dictation option missing

In a past update, I lost the option to enable dictation. And see no microphone in my keyboard. Just purchased an iPhone 13 and these features are still missing. How can I restore?

iPhone 13, iOS 15

Hey there Dictate_,


You'll want to make sure you have this feature enabled in order to see the mic icon and use dictation. If this has carried over from other devices, it's possible you might have restored from a backup causing this option to remain disabled.


Use the steps below to enable dictation:


Turn on Dictation
1. Go to Settings  > General > Keyboard.
2. Turn on Enable Dictation.


For additional help with using this feature, check out: Dictate text on iPhone - Apple Support


Take care!
