Yeah I just got it to do that, hate the fact they moved it to the navigation bar, I am a one handed left thumb typer and my phone case makes it difficult to press that microphone in the far left corner. But yeah I got it back at least. It needed to stay where it was at the top row of icons on the keyboard app itself.

Not sure why yours just disappeared since they moved it almost a year ago when 6.0 was released

If you don't like having the microphone button in the lower left corner, you can add that function to the spacebar.

Go to Settings > General Management > Samsung Keyboard settings > Swipe, touch, and feedback > Touch and hold spacebar.  Change the setting to Voice Input.  Now you can activate voice input by long-pressing the spacebar.
