I have tried going to Settings > General > Keyboard, and the ‘enable dictation’ option is simply not there.
I use to have the dictation microphone button in the bottom right of my keyboard, and it has simply disappeared and I don’t know how to get it back.
I tried updating my phone, and I tried turning it off and on again, but the enable button is simply not there….
Please see image of my current keyboard settings below.
I figured it out! I got my dictation to turn back on! The answer was in the Content & Privacy Restrictions Settings. You can find it by following the below:
Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps - Enable Siri and Dictation

Hello MEGA49R!
I also discovered that, by accident though. I couldn’t figure out what the heck was happening. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Also, thanks to AprilClare for sharing how you discovered a resolution to your issue! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing how to restore the microphone icon I’ve always used on my keyboard!
It was just suddenly missing one day and I’d tried everything! You were right—Go to Settings—Screen Time—Content and Privacy.
My microphone is back!! And I remember messing around with the privacy settings in screen time a couple months ago before this happened. Lesson learned!
Thank you!!
I don’t have that either… must have gone away
tip… if you are in messages , hold your phone up, like you were calling someone, and it should make a sound, and should record a voice message
Thank you so much!!!
Enable dictation button is absent from settings
