Hi

I have an iphone 14 , ios 17.0.3

I had a similar issue few days ago, only with "Whatsapp". Microphone is not functioning at all.

Tried all what you've suggested. Nothing works.

The "Whatsapp business" app microphone function is running just fine as the rest of all microphone related apps.

So I assume it's something with Whatsapp itself and waiting for their upcoming update.
