Dictate punctuation and emojis as you’re yelling

There is nothing more enraging than trying to get the point across through text and having the autofill completely botch what you were trying to convey. Fortunately, Apple’s improving its Dictation experience in iOS 16 so that if you are yelling into the microphone, at least you can choose punctuation that doesn’t make that obvious. I’ve been doing this with my Android phone for a while.

Now, the keyboard will stay active as you’re dictating into a message or email on your iPhone. You can also dictate punctuation and emojis to help add to the message’s mood without additional formatting.
