Could you please enhance this feature to keep the Mic enabled at all times? This would be really helpful. Thank you."

Hey, thanks for the report. This seems to be the current design behavior for voice input.

Another user reported the same issue here: Allow multiple voice recordings or re-recording in Voice Mode

Right now, the microphone button is replaced by the Send button after transcription and also disappears when attachments/context are added. This is a known limitation that prevents continuous voice input.

I recommend adding your feedback to the existing feature request topic linked above.
