At first I thought it was the case because it had no holes at the bottom, so it was covering the speaker and mic, but even without it there would be an echo. So I took my phone during the week of purchase to T-Mobile and the manager was not helpful at all. He kept telling me it’s normal, it happens sometimes, it’s a network problem, the phone is not defective. But he told me my only options were to send it to Apple or Get a different one with my insurance. He didn’t even try to help, nor touched my phone at all!


The closest Apple store to my town is 2 hrs away, so I took it to the Geek Squad at Best Buy instead. They checked my phone and even though I saw the screen showed “issues found” they said the phone was working properly, but they could send it out to Apple to have it checked and it would take about a week. I work from my phone, so I can’t afford to be without it for a week. It was very frustrating because until this day, there is no solution to this problem online.


I finally visited an Apple Store and thank God the associate knew what he was doing! He took my phone for a few minutes, came back and told me there were no problems with the device, but he had me reset my network settings. IT FIXED THE ISSUE! I can’t believe it was that simple and no one could help me before. I almost purchased a new phone.


It has been months since that day and just a few days ago the echo came back, but it went away by resetting the network settings again.


Before you waste more money on another phone or your time waiting for them to fix your phone, TRY RESETTING YOUR NETWORK SETTINGS.

We have (me and my wife) IP11 and we experience this issue as well. Echo during a voice conversation. 


What I know so far:

  1. This is not the case issue (tried to remove the phone from the case)
  2. This is not device microphone problem (echoing on AirPods also) 
  3. This is a too-loud volume issue (experiencing this also on lowered volume)
  4. This is not a noise reduction option issue (i tried to turn it off)



FAST SOLUTION:


We found that this problem staring to exist and become more perceptible in a matter of time, so to fix this you need to TURN ON->TURN OFF FLIGHT MODE. This helps for 12-24hours. After that time echo is starting to be more and more hearable. 


If you experience this issue please write in this thread- Apple MUST react.

I got this message from Apple.

“After reviewing your feedback, we have some additional information for you.

This is a known issue and will be addressed in a future software update”


I hope that means that there is a fix in the works.

We have a 7s, X, Xs, and an Xr. No problems with any of those. But my 11 is not useable on speakerphone.

I contacted Apple several weeks ago and they referred it to Engineering to research. I gave them this forum to check, but they stated many times that they DO NOT monitor these posts. They drug the issue out for weeks and asked me to troubleshoot many different solutions, all of which did nothing. I am NOT on Beta and only on the latest official IOS release.


So PLEASE contact Apple and file a complaint of your own. That is the ONLY way it will be addressed!

I think I may have fixed the issue. So I followed the instructions to update to the latest iOS 13.4 as others have advised and I thought it worked. After my mother started to complain that she still hears the echo while I'm on speaker phone with her...I decided to close out all of the open apps on my phone while talking to her...and...Boom! Echo gone right away. So if Apple is looking at this..this is your fix on the next update. Please send a check to my apple ID..LOL


Good Luck Guys and I'm hoping this works for us all :)

I'm pleased if a case change has solved the issue for this user. However, we have anecdotal evidence in 2 situations where the problem has persisted - egregiously - one with an iPhone 11 and an Apple silicone case (the kind where the ther is no crossbar on the bottom near the speakers), and one with no case at all (but it does have a screen protector.


The most successful strategies I've seen to date are to a) quit all other apps on the phone prior to making or taking a call (this has worked to our amazement in several instances) and b) keep the base of the phone away from the palm, parts of the hand, or any flat surface or base or charging station. Annoyingly, holding the phone upside down and speaking into it as if it were a handheld mike seems to work best.


We have not tested this with FaceTime - the upside-down technique would likely yield questionable results.


PS We have -not- seen this problem on any iPhone 11 Pros.
