iOS 27 Fixes Justin Bieber's Problem in Messages App

iOS 27 Messages Text Field SettingLast year, singer Justin Bieber turned to social media to complain about the placement of the dictation button in the Messages app's text field on the iPhone. Specifically, he said he kept accidentally pressing the dictation button after sending a text, given it shows up in the same spot as the send button.

Apple has seemingly listened to this feedback, as iOS 27 lets you turn off the dictation button in the Settings app under Apps → Messages → Show in Text Field.

This is fantastic. I never have felt a need to start recording audio from the keyboard and it was just a landmine key to avoid.

BTW - Can we all agree that it completely sucks that they buried Phone/Messages off in the pile of all apps in the settings? These really are more top level system components than just any ol' app.

So thousands perhaps millions of customers are ignored. A Celebrity request is more important. Got it.
