iOS: Microphone icon replaced by magnifying glass – in-app voice commands no longer work

I’ve been using Pandora for several years. While driving, I normally tap the microphone icon to the left of the search bar on the Search page to use Pandora’s Hands-Free voice command feature. I use it to request songs, artists, or genres — for example, “Play top songs by Thievery Corporation” or “Play Everlong by Foo Fighters.”

As of last week, the microphone icon disappeared and was replaced by a magnifying glass. After uninstalling and reinstalling the app, the microphone icon returns, but when I tap it I get a message telling me to “use my hardware’s voice command to request songs” (i.e., Siri).

I’ve tried multiple uninstalls and reinstalls, but the issue persists. I also do not see a “Voice Command” or “Voice Assistant” option anywhere in the Pandora app settings.

Device details:

  • iPhone 16
  • iOS 26.6

Has anyone else run into this, or is there a known fix? Any help would be appreciated.
