Can’t use voice input while on a call? — galaxy s21

I just got the S21. While on a call, I tried to reply to a text using the microphone (voice input to text). I got a notification that says “can’t use voice input while on a call.” So it’s prohibited. By default, voice input is controlled by Samsung. I also switched to google for voice input to see if that worked. I don’t get an error message but Google says something to the effect of “I didn’t catch that,” so it doesn’t work either at the moment.

Any workaround for this? Is this an android 11 issue? I could voice text while on a call on a galaxy note 4 (android 6). All these years later and the S21 is incapable of doing this? Frustrating.

It sounds like you are not able to use voice input while on a call because the microphone is already in use by the call. It may be a good idea to reach out to Samsung directly to see if there is a workaround or it is disabled for a specific reason. Hopefully someone can help you with this!

Can you try going to Settings > General Management > Language and Input > On-Screen Keyboard, and select either Samsung Voice Input, or Bixby Dictation to see if this helps. Alternatively, select Google Voice Typing, then try the voice input again.
