What happened to the microphone option on the keyboard?!?!?

[AC Question]

Dictation is hugely faster, easier and way more fun than typing.
Yet my new Galaxy s7 (I dropped the old S7 and it had all the updates) has no keyboard! I have gone thru every menu and found no options that let me have a mic.

Whoever is in charge of this:
BRING IT BACK!!!!!

Welcome to the forum. First, sorry, we can't bring it back as we're not in charge and not Samsung Are you missing the whole keyboard, or just the mic on the keyboard? A missing mic symbol is common following the Nougat upgrade, but I'm pretty sure you still have a kb around somewhere. Others have downloaded and installed another kb from the Play store, Swiftkey and swype are both good ones to try. GBoard is also popular.
