I'm having an issue with Siri dictation on the watch in iMessage. Instead of the color waveforms the screen displays a series of tiny dots across the bottom of the screen and no actual dictation happens. I will file a bug report but curious if anyone else has come across this?
Siri Dictation
I've seen this. I think the color waveforms are for when you're talking to Siri, but the dots are for when it's just transcribing your voice.
apple watch has the same issues.. easy fix turn off the network
