AirPods - no one can hear me
I have cleaned and repaired with my phone and still no one can hear me through my AirPods. I can hear clearly others and music. They are less than a year old. Any suggestions?
iPhone 12, iOS 14
Question marked as
AirPods microphones seem to be the troublemaker here. Here are two fixes. But before that, restart your iPhone. Also, put your AirPods in the case for a minute. Now, try to make a call and see if these basic steps fix the problem or not.
I. Choose either left or right AirPod
Open the Settings app → Bluetooth → tap (i) next to AirPods → Microphone → choose Always Left AirPod or Always Right AirPod.
Now make a call and see if the other party can hear you or not.
II. Forget AirPods and Re-pair
Open the Settings app → Bluetooth → tap (i) next to AirPods → Forget This Device → Forget Device.
Now, restart your iPhone. Also, keep the AirPods in their case for about 1 minute. After this, pair them again, and the microphone problem may no longer exist.
III. Contact Apple Support
In case nothing works, there may be a physical problem with the AirPods. Please visit Apple Store and get things checked.
