As the subject states, Apple has today released beta 4 of iOS26.5 for those on the developer seed & it finally fixes the dictation bug I & many others were experiencing on my iPhone 16 pro max.

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis
If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.
If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.
In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.
All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

Can confirm
PB4 iPhone 15 pro. Oh and for some reason it is a huge download around 16gb for me for some reason! Oh and no notifications are not fixed lol.
Re: Notifications
Apple will never fix this. Because Apple likes to torment us.
True story. 😇

What matters is how Apple feels about cats.

A Gentle Reminder About Sarcasm
Hi all,
I ask that everyone please keep in mind that sarcasm does not always translate well over text or across cultures. For this reason, we recommend that people please refrain from including sarcasm in their posts--lest it be misunderstood and/or misinterpreted.
Thanks! 😊
fixed here also
Fixed on my iPhone Air, although I forgot to check on my iPhone 14. Haven't used since the update was performed last thing before bed.
VO and notification
Is that fix? Just asking. Thanks. LLC.
