Yesterday’s release notes for Drafts:
The pertinent entry:
- Change: Replaced microphone icon on Apple Watch complications and buttons. Since Apple has made it so it is not possible to launch input directly to dictation on watchOS 8.1, it no longer makes sense to use microphone icon. (PS: Please let Apple know if you do not like this change! We’d love to get back the ability to go straight to dictation.)
Have you reported this to Apple yet? The more people who do, the more chance it will be reviewed.
