Why has Microsoft removed "Search by voice" option in the new tab page?
Microsoft please add it back ASAP!!!!!!!!!!
I forgot to say "Search by voice" option is on the new tab page on Windows 11.
But it is missing on all versions of Edge on Windows 10 😞
The "Search by voice" option was actually on new tab page in the Canary builds for a while but it was removed the other day.
So strange and I would really like Microsoft to tell us what is going on?
- Just update your OS
https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11- Wait so are you saying going forward the "Search by voice" option on new tabs in Edge will only be available in Windows 11 and beyond?
- Hi Steve and Mason,
I have Windows 10 and have been using the voice search on New Tab for years now no problem at all and mine has also disappeared completely recently - really infuriating!! Why on earth have they removed it??? I don't want to have to use the keyboard and press windows H every single time I wanna do a search, just click the microphone, instant! Yes I have the latest software installed. Please add your thoughts to the Microsoft comments page https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/all/the-microphone-icon-for-voice-search-has-been/f7234a2e-3b7a-4a81-86d4-be076109ec3e - you will see my comments there under the name 2Epic, and click at the top that you have the same problem.Thanks a lot guys!
