OS-native dictation on iOS requires uploading your address book to Apple on every request, even if you don’t use iCloud. I unfortunately have to leave it disabled for this reason.
- nohup2 3mo agoAre you sure? Just tested it and it works locally and offline
- sneak 3mo agoIt says right on it when you enable it: > Dictation sends information like your voice input, contacts, and location to Apple when necessary for processing your requests.

- jjice 3mo agoI believe you're correct as of the last few iPhone generations. iOS 27 (with newer models of device required) have even better transcription coming as well, all on device.
- espetro 3mo agoOh my, this is the first time I read about it ever. Thanks for sharing it! I'll stop using the built-in dictation now.
