S23U: Where is the Voice-to-text mic for keyboard?!

[jasmineberg]

I have a galaxy S23 Ultra and updated this morning to 6.1 and now can't use voice to text in my text app.  It installed some AI Advanced Intelligence, which I've disabled and turned off in every area, yet it's still functioning and I cannot use voice to text anywhere.  

Voice input in keyboard is on samsung voice input as I do not choose to allow the permissions required for the gboard (they're riduculous!)

Please advise as to how to get the basic voice to text feature back.  These updates keep screwing up the phones and it's frustrating and annoying to say the least. Just want the old, simple functions please.  Thanks.

Ui 6.1 it's hardly charging my phone charges like 1 percent every 5 minutes takes forever. Samsung please fix. It's a priority for me to get my phone charged quickly in just a 30 minute break for the other half of the day.

I started charging to see if the same happens for me - it does.  And my battery went from 77% to 31% with my usual activity in two hours - never happened before; an 85% charge usually last 2+ days.  Yikes.  I'll need to remember to plug it in every night.

Such a stupid idea to put it way down there. It's not convenient whatsoever. Why not keep it where it was when it is easily accessible

This is soooo stupid.   How do I move the icon ????     It was a 1 handed  operation.   Now it's 2 !!      and it's hard to catch the icon so low and off to the side.   I need it back where it was !!!!!!!!!!!

There is an app on the phone for chat tech support.    I chatted with someone for a while.   Can't be fixed, and can't remove the update.     All they do is apologize for the inconvenience.
