The microphone icon is gone. How do I get it back?
You will learn how to bring back the microphone icon.
The little microphone you tap to talk has gone away.
This happens to many people. It is not your fault.
The icon is usually hiding, not gone for good.
Try this
- Look near the typing box. The microphone often sits there.
- Tap the typing box once so the keyboard comes up.
- Check the corner of the keyboard for a small microphone.
- If you do not see it, close the app and open it again.
- Look for the microphone in the same spot once more.
- Still gone? Restart your phone and check again.

Your phone may have turned off microphone use. Check Settings to make sure the app is allowed.
