Justin Bieber Slams iPhone Dictation Button for Ruining His Music Listening
Justin Bieber has sparked a wave of tech chatter after publicly criticising the iPhone’s dictation button, claiming it repeatedly interrupts his music listening experience. According to reporting from Business Insider, Bieber expressed frustration over the feature’s placement and sensitivity, arguing that it activates far too easily during everyday use.
The comments resonated with users who share similar frustrations, prompting an online debate about Apple’s interface decisions. The dictation button, introduced in recent iOS updates, is intended to allow quick hands-free messaging, but many users say it activates accidentally, pausing audio and disrupting other tasks — precisely the annoyance Bieber described.
The singer has not suggested switching devices, but his critique adds a celebrity voice to an already active discussion among tech reviewers. It also highlights how small interface details can become flashpoints when they disrupt the daily routines of public figures with massive social reach.
Apple has not responded to the criticism, but analysts note that the company frequently adjusts UI placement based on feedback. Whether Bieber’s complaint influences future updates remains to be seen.
