Yes, I do have an update - apologies on the delay, I was trying to reach out to as many individuals as I could.
Apple announced a while back that they are deprecating a development feature called UIWebView. This is something we've known was coming for a while, and have been in the midst implementing their recommended changes. What kind of caught us off-guard is that in iOS 13 keyboard dictation would no longer be supported without the newer updates for this feature deprecation. Due to the large number of features that need to be migrated off UIWebView, including many of our apps - Editor, VPN, mail, etc - there is a lot of work that needs to be done.
Due to the amount of work required, and the amount of time that we'll need to QA this, the earliest we could push up the changes was for our 3.98 release in early April (with a beta starting in mid-March). I know this isn't ideal, but given what has to go in to this, it would be much more detrimental if we rushed it and potentially impacted something much larger negatively.
We'll be putting out a statement in the portal in the next week or so.

Thanks so much, Matt, for your response above.
Is there an update for the release window to bring back this functionality re: voice to text?

Unfortunately I do not at this time. We have escalated to the highest tier of management, but there were some security patches that had to be prioritized first. I'm hoping to be able to drop an update with a tentative release window in this thread fairly soon.

Hi Matt,
Thank you for keeping track of this thread. I was glad to find an actual thread highlighting this issue.
I am having the same issue. It was a big boost to productivity when voice to text was enabled. Based on Yasmiell's last note below, it looks like the issue is persisting. Any updates?
Thank you!

The most recent app release had already been in the pipeline before the issue had been identified. We're actively working on the fix and I hope to have an update to our app release page shortly

I agree, this has been going on for a while now with no end in sight.

Hi Matt,
Any new updates on this issue? Iphone works fine with Hotmail app, Gmail app and Iphone generic Mail App. I see an update was performed to MaaS360 with no resolution for the dictation problem. This is almost a month old issue. Thank you.

Changes were made in iOS 13 that impacted how applications leverage dictation on devices. Our dev teams are currently working with Apple engineers on a resolution, but I do not have an ETA that I can provide at this time.

Hi, new to the group and have a quick question. I'm an enterprise user of the maas360 mobile app on iPhone for exchange and it used to let you use voice to text. It still does but stops after 3 words and then the cursor moves back to the front of the sentence. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is there a solution? Thanks!
