Hi there,

My iphone 16 microphone is not working, though i can make and receive the call.

restarting the iphone
checking if the app has microphone access

Thanks

Microphone not working on my iPhone 16 Every once in a while, on calls with speaker phone on, my microphone does not work no matter how loudly I speak. If I wait about 10 seconds however, it starts to work again. It always seems to work on voice memos or camera, but at random fails in phone calls. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Hello,

Start here:

Get help with the microphones on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Then test with the Voice Memos app.

Good luck.
