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.

Who thought putting it in the lower left corner was a good idea?????

Seriously, who makes these asinine decisions?

My microphone was on the bottom left yesterday afternoon and had disappeared completely by evening. We've tried everything to bring it back and can't. Worst update ever!

Thank you, oh my gosh it was right there and we couldn't see it 😆

never buying samsung again tired of bloat ware and non stop notifications from apps I didn't install and don't use

What happened to my voice input icon. How do i put it back. It's not at the bottom of the navigation bar

REALLY???
They just can't leave well enough alone...
C,mon, I will never use that for anything...
Just like the new photo junk they added. It doesn't even work that well.
What a huge letdown on the latest update.

Mine still doesn't show up after doing all of that

(1) Putting the icon at the bottom left corner is an AWFUL location. Very difficult to tap if the phone is in a case (like mine). Why not leave it on the toolbar?  Or provide option to put it back on the toolbar?  And, remove the AI junk. Ughh.

(2) Yes. I agree.  Battery now gets eaten up with same use. I use navigation apps but now have to carry a backup battery.  I hate this update.

Mines not at the bottom, even after checking the above.

Was struggling and this helped. I didn't have the microphone on bottom like others so i found a video to make it appear. Key is the settings
