Hi. This is one thing that threw me for a loop when I updated. 😆 I hope this is helpful.


The Voice Message button has been relocated in iOS 16 from its traditional place on the right of the message field. There is still a ‘Microphone’ icon, as you mentioned, this icon allows you to activate dictation. The Voice Message button has become an iMessage app and moved to the iMessage app drawer. The instructions are in the following article, Send recorded audio messages on iPhone - Apple Support
