iPhone 16 microphone stops working while in use

I need to use the microphone because I’m learning a language online and need that feature. While I’m using it, it just stops working. I restart the iphone and it will work but then cut out again after a few minutes.

iPhone 16, iOS 18

Thank you for your reply but my phone isn’t freezing up and everything else is working fine. It’s just that the microphone stops responding. But nothing else seems to be affected.


Ok, what I suggest you do is take the device in for an examination:



Did you perform the forced restart? It’s not solely for devices that are frozen. Sometimes, forced restarts will fix issues like the one you have.
