iOS 27 Dictation Still Not Working for Some Users

First reported on r/ios on June 26, 2026.

Upgrading to iOS 27 beta didn't fix the dictation feature, which still doesn't work well. Some users have no issues with voice-to-text services like Chat GPT.

How to fix it

  1. Try using voice-to-text services like Chat GPT as an alternative.
  2. Check for software updates and try the dictation feature again.
  3. If this doesn't work, contact Apple support — there isn't a known user-side fix yet.
