Messages and microphone

I have an iphone 13 pro running ios 16.1.1 When trying to send a voice message in messages - unable to use microphone When I access it, the microphone has a 'x' by it. I am unable to tap it and switch it on. Have looked in settings. Messages is not an app that appears under microphone. How to add it? Fix it? It used to work but has not for a few weeks now.
