I think Samsung needs to address these software glitches! I faced the mic issue again after an update, and clearing data afterwards solved it temporarily!
Totally with you there! It’s frustrating. I just keep the keyboard updated and pray for the best! 
I haven’t had issues recently, but I remember reading forums where users said uninstalling the keyboard app and then reinstalling it worked for them. It might be worth a try!
True! It’s a valid workaround if all else fails. Just be ready for the reconfiguration! I hope they fix this glitch soon.
All these solutions are helpful! Just curious, has anyone reached out to Samsung support? Did they provide any useful advice?

Yes, I did contact Samsung! They suggested a factory reset, but I found that a bit drastic for a mic issue. I’ve tried the other methods you all mentioned much more effectively.
A factory reset? Yikes! I’d only recommend that as a last resort! Glad to hear the other options worked for you!
I’ve noticed the microphone on my Samsung keyboard has been acting up since the last software update. Anyone else experiencing this?
Yes! After the update, mine has become less responsive too. It’s frustrating!
The recent software updates have definitely impacted performance. I read somewhere that a bug was introduced which affects voice input. Samsung’s been pretty quiet about it though.

Right?! It’s like they fix one thing and break another with every update. So frustrating!
I’ve been troubleshooting this issue, and it seems to vary by device model. What phone are you all using? It might help narrow things down.
I’m on a Galaxy S21. I wonder if the model makes a difference.
I’ve got the S20, and my microphone is also glitchy since the last update! It’s definitely software related.
Samsung usually rolls out fixes quickly. I hope they release a patch soon. In the meantime, try clearing the keyboard’s cache. It helped a bit for me.
Thanks for the tip, hroberts! I’ll give that a shot. It’s annoying how tech can work against us sometimes.
Never thought of that! I’ll try it, fingers crossed! 
My microphone is fine, but I had to disable and re-enable it in settings after the update. It’s like a tech version of ‘turn it off and on again’!

Haha! So true! Sometimes technology just needs a little nap.
I wonder if these bugs are part of a newer marketing strategy? ‘Buy our new phone to fix your keyboard!’ Haha!
