Ever since updating to the 10.3.3 beta, siri hardly recognizes me. The little squiggly lines barely move when I speak in to it, and it never guesses what I am saying correctly. Dictation is the same way.

Google Assistant and other assistants work on my phone perfectly fine, but siri is giving me trouble. Anyone else?

Sounds like microphone trouble. See if you can record audio and play it back normally.

There is no way it's a mic problem. Audio records fine, people can hear me perfectly fine on the phone, and other assistants can recognize me just fine.

Odd that it's only happening in Siri & Dictation... Does a reboot solve it? If not you may want to report it as a bug using the Feedback Assistant.

it can be a microphone issue. Since iPhone 6S Siri and dictation use a different microphone located next to the front facing camera. Other apps and calls use the regular microphone.

I know this cause Apple replaced my phone due to a failure on this especific microphone.
