I’ve recently noticed that the microphone icon on my Android keyboard seems to be missing, and I’m not sure what to do about it. I normally use the voice input feature quite a bit for texting and writing notes, and not having this option available is quite a hassle.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Restarting my device: Sometimes a simple restart can solve minor glitches. I turned it off for a minute and then back on, but that didn’t help.
Checking keyboard settings: I went into the keyboard settings to make sure the voice typing feature is enabled. It seems that all the voice settings are correctly set, but still no microphone icon.
Updating my apps and system: I checked for any pending updates, and I made sure both my keyboard app and the system software are up to date. This hasn’t resolved the issue.
Clearing cache and data for keyboard app: I cleared the cache and data for the keyboard app and restarted it. This also did not bring back the microphone option.
I’m using a [insert specific Android device model here] with [insert Android version here]. If anyone has experienced this issue before or has tips on how to troubleshoot it further, I’d really appreciate your insights!
Also, does anyone know if there are alternative keyboards that have a more reliable voice input option? I’d love to explore some other options if I can’t get this fixed quickly.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! Looking forward to your suggestions.
I noticed the microphone missing from my Android keyboard too. You might want to check if your settings are misconfigured. Sometimes it’s just a simple permissions issue!
