Thank you! Step 1 took care of it. Again, I keep forgetting the simple fixes.

  1. Have you restarted your iPhone?
  2. Am I correct in assuming you have Enable Dictation turned on in Settings > General > Keyboards? and that dictation works in other apps?
  3. Have you checked Settings > Privacy > Microphone to see if perhaps the microphone is set OFF for Messages?
  4. Do you have AirPods or any kind of headphone or headset connected either by Bluetooth or USB?
