I have Pebble Time 2 and iPhone 16 Pro  
I have enabled speech recognition in the app, downloaded the local package (it set to local with fallback to online). But when I get notification I get no option to respond with voice. And I have no idea how else to test it.

I have tested WhatsApp, Element, Facebook, and even native SMS. None of these show reply option. Turning speech recognition off and on again did not help.

Hey there! On iOS it’s not possible to reply to messages with voice (or canned replies)

And is there any way how to work with mic on iOS? If not maybe there could be at least message in the app stating that it does not work on iOS (at least on speech recognition toggle) 🙂

Hi Trevor — any timeline for when dictation might work on iOS?

Thanks,
