iOS Safari skipping the last word of dictation search in new tabs

In any new tab (and less commonly in an existing tab), when clicking the microphone button for search dictation that’s directly on the address bar, the last word of whatever I dictate for the search will be skipped. It is always just the last word- never the last two words or last few words. The word can be any length, and the dictation can be at any cadence. It happens every single time consistently.


For example, “what is the capital of Uzbekistan” will result in a search for “what is the capital of”


”why are you skipping the last word” becomes “why are you skipping the last”


I have seen this bug throughout multiple iOS versions and was hoping it would have disappeared in 26.


Is this happening to anyone else?


iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 26
