If you’re an Android user, you might have noticed that the microphone icon on your keyboard is missing. This can be frustrating, especially when you need to use voice dictation to type out a message or email. Fortunately, there are several ways to get the microphone back on your Android keyboard. Here’s how:
Method 1: Check Your Keyboard Settings
The first thing you should do is check your keyboard settings to make sure the microphone option is enabled. To do this, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open Your Keyboard Settings
Go to your device’s settings and select “Language and Input.” Under “Keyboard and Input Methods,” select your keyboard app.
Step 2: Enable the Microphone Option
Once you’re in your keyboard settings, look for the “Voice Input” or “Speech Recognition” option. Make sure it’s turned on.
Method 2: Update Your Keyboard App

Type the name of your keyboard app in the search bar and select it from the list of results.
