Anyone else running tvOS 17.2 beta and seeing this issue? If I turn off Siri, pressing the Siri button at all brings up the search. Seems dictation is just not working in 17.2 beta. Have since turned off beta updates so that I just get the stable release, but would like to see if anyone has found a solution before I talk to Apple support.
It seems that the functionality switched from “hold” to “press”, but the prompt still says hold. https://www.reddit.com/r/appletv/s/1HR3ybxXQA
This is the answer. Thank you!
