I am not looking for any diagnosis or help with this because I've already checked into everything, and have spent hours on the phone with Apple.

If you have an SE2 with at least ios 18.01, all I want to know is if your voice dictation works on native apps, like mail and messages, and if Siri works. Those don't work on mine, but 3d party apps like Chrome work fine.

Hey there. I just upgraded but yes I've used one for years. Tapping the little microphone icon worked perfectly for me. I tend to avoid any given app's voice dictation feature, it never works as well. For example on ChatGPT. Much better to use Apple's feature, which as gotten better.

Just to be sure I'm understanding you correctly, you are saying that you have ios 18 installed, and voice dictation works on the mail and messages apps?

Yes, I run 18.1 on this new iPhone 16 Pro, and voice dictation works fine for me. I hope it does for you also. The microphone is in a different place, albeit larger and lower right now... but it works fine.
