Google talk-to-text and spell-check/fill-in features are no longer working

Problem Solving
#1

What phone do you have? Moto G5

What plan are you on? 1Gb data

Does your plan include data, or just talk & text? data

Issue Description

Confirmed that the features are enabled, rebooted the phone several times, data is “on”, but when opening the text/anywhere app it doesn’t give me the option of talk-to-text (via the microphone symbol), nor is it spell-checking my texts any longer.

  • There isn’t any chance that ‘Data’ has been turned off or that you have actually used your 1 Gb?
    • I find that the search function is easier that trying to remember where things are located in the Settings :slight_smile:
    • Settings / Search arg = Data usage

I have the same problem…no matter how much data I have. I have a motog5+. It has been like this for months! I reached out to community, Received a suggestion to install Google keyboard, did not work. Went to settings to turn on gboard, no luck. My husband has the same phone and his keyboard and his did not change. It’s very frustrating.
Thank you
Sorry if I should have made my own thread, but I have been looking for someone with the same issue.

@jeanb.01d11j and @gregm.0z9erw Are you still having this issue? Does it occur both on wifi and cell? Are you using a VPN or firewall app on your phone? Are you using the Republic Data Freeze feature?

Thank you for checking. Not an issue any longer…I bought a new phone! Lol. NOT Motorola.
