• 2. You also mentioned "And it ONLY works when I put the headphones in." Please verify if your device is stuck in headphone mode: If your iPhone is stuck in headphone mode - Apple Support

If you've tried these steps and people still can't hear you on phone or FaceTime calls or Siri doesn’t hear your requests, or the device is stuck in headphone mode, please contact Apple Support.

If the issue only occurs in specific third-party apps like you described, you may need to reach out to the app manufacturer for assistance with their app.

Thanks and have a wonderful day.
