Justin Bieber slams Apple over this annoying feature
Justin Bieber expressed his anger with the iPhone’s dictation button. For those unversed, it is a tiny microphone on the bottom right of the screen. The pop star wrote, “If I hit this dictation button after sending a text and it beeps and stops my music one more time, I’m gonna find everyone at Apple and put them in a rear naked choke hold.”
Furthermore, he wrote, “Even if I turn off dictation, I somehow hit the voice note thing. The send button should not have multiple functions in the same spot.” As of writing, the post has garnered 425K likes, 11.7K comments, 6,781 retweets, and 71.6K shares. Hilariously, Bieber soundtracked the post to his own song, “All I Can Take”, clearly expressing his frustration in a musical form.
Fans had interesting reactions to the “Peaches” crooner’s post. One fan commented, “‘In a rear naked choke hold’ is wild lol.” A second fan wrote, “I just know they’re going to screenshot, print, and hang this in their office.”
A third fan chimed in, “Caption is sending me, but honestly Apple likes to complicate simple things.” Finally, a fan penned, “The song choice, I’m crying. You’re hilarious,” followed by a slew of emojis.
A lot of users sympathized with the “Baby” crooner, admitting they have issues with the dictation feature on the iPhone as well.
It appears Bieber complained about this issue on his Instagram Stories in 2024. At the time, the “Sorry” singer shared a screenshot of the same dictation feature and penned a frustrating caption. He wrote, “Honestly, I’m sick of when I’m listening to music, I send a text message, and it stops the music for a split second. I know all of you have experienced this!”
Continuing further, he ranted, “All I’m asking is, please do an update, Apple, so that little dictation button is removed. So I can listen to music and text and not have issues.”
