The microphone button has vanished from the keyboard buttons. I've seen the solution of putting it on the navigation bar. I want to know how to put it back on the keyboard buttons. I use my phone one-handed very often, and it's easier to have it placed at the top of the keyboard to the right where I can push the button. I haven't seen anyone able to tell me how to put it back up there instead of on the navigation bar, which is supposed to be for navigating my phone, not for keyboard input. Can anyone help me?

Unfortunately ,
you can't with the Samsung Keyboard.
You need to get Keyboard Apps like SwiftKey or GBoard for that.

What do you mean, "not accepted"? The answer is "no". I cannot have the microphone back on the keyboard. The answer "no" is correct for my question. Yes, the samsung microphone exists still, but not where I want it to be.

You can add it back through your phone settings, not the Samsung keyboard settings:

Have you tried side-loading an older version? None of us seem to know exactly when an update removed it, but this site has APKs that would allow you to rollback the app...
