The microphone is missing on the keyboard

[veggienut]

All there is on the top of the keyboard is the smiley face, clip board etc, but no microphone. How do I get the microphone back? I don't know how it just disappeared unless it was The recent update.

The microphone button, follow the steps below
Phone settings
General management
Keyboard list and default
Toggle on the keyboard button on the Navigation bar
The microphone button will be in its new location bottom left corner

If you want the microphone on the top of the keyboard, you would need to switch to Gboard

I don't understand what a gboard is?

It's Googles keyboard that you download from the play store

Thank you. I didn't know what the Gboard was either.
