Why isn't my microphone working during phone calls?
There are several reasons why your microphone might not be working during phone calls. Here are some common causes and solutions:
-
Dirt and dust
One of the most common causes of microphone problems is dirt and dust that builds up in the microphone openings. Use a soft, dry brush to gently remove the dirt. -
Institutions
Make sure the microphone isn't turned off in your iPhone's settings. Go to **Settings > Privacy > Microphone** and make sure the microphone is turned on for the apps you're using. -
Software updates
Sometimes a software update can cause issues with the microphone. Check that you have the latest version of iOS installed and update if necessary. -
Protective cover
If you are using a protective case, it may be blocking the microphone. Remove the case and check if the problem is solved.
How can I test my iPhone's microphone?
If you want to check if your microphone is working properly, you can follow these steps:
-
Voice Memos
Open the Voice Memos app and record a short recording. Listen to the recording to make sure the sound is clear and without distortion. -
Siri
Activate Siri and ask a question. If Siri can’t hear or answer your question correctly, there may be a problem with your microphone. -
Phone call
Call someone and ask if they can hear you clearly. This is an easy way to check if your microphone is working properly during phone calls.
