Echo on speaker calls iphone 11

Less, very well said. Thank you. 🤞🏼That 13.4 does the trick. And I agree, a $1000 device should function at its highest capability, given the uncertainty we are all facing right now dealing with the pandemic of Covid 19. Remote connectivity with a crisp and clear connection (even on speakerphone) are more important than ever.

I have an iphone11 pro and I have started to hear myself echo on calls. It doesn't matter if I am using air pods, on speaker or holding it like a regular phone. The person on the other end does not hear it. I'm running IOS13.3.1. It does it with or without the case. Any suggestions.

Well said jseaver. I am still having the problem, and going into week 3 of working from home here in CA, I am relying on the phone function more than ever. I have a regular iPhone 11, no pro or anything. And like most I’ve seen here the echo is heard by people at the other end, not me. As if the mic is not muting when someone at the other end is speaking, and they are hearing their voice coming out of the speaker bounce back through the mic. Too bad that it seems that the phone function of smartphones these days is secondary to their function as streaming and texting devices or cameras.

I am on conference calls several times a day and have had to resort to using my earbuds. Not my preference, but it works.

Same here. I’ve updated and also sent my phone back to Apple. They returned it to me claiming they found nothing wrong! It stills seems to have issues with speaker & hands free. Idk. I’m so frustrated. I’ve had to purchase another phone as I cannot be without my phone for business. Over this!!

I just bought the same phone , and it has the same problem. It is so annoying, I’m not able to use the speaker because people on the other side won’t be able to hear me clearly. Apple should fix the problem, we didn’t spend money to get issues as a gift.

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 :)

Yep! That is what they did to me as well. I sent it back. They said they found nothing wrong. Sent it back to me snd it’s still messed you! Brand new phone. Useless! I’m a huge Apple fan. This is very disappointing!!

It's a temporary fix:

While you're on your speaker phone call, close out ALL of the open apps. Echo should go away right. Tell you caller to do the same if they're on an 11.

Maybe Apple can fix with the next update, but this works for my friends and I.

Good Luck!

Wow. cdp1030, we can't believe it, but yes - that fix is working, at least so far. Cannot thank you enough, this has been a torment. Fingers crossed the solution will last.

Obviously it's a limitation not to be able to access other apps while using the speakerphone, and will require a fix. But it beats having the person one is on the phone with hear every word they speak from their end echoing back to them at top volume.

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.

or

Tell your friend to try turning off ALL other apps on his iPhone 11 (except for Phone, of course) and test it out. It's not an elegant solution - many of us need to use Messages, or Maps or Safari while on the phone, but... this has helped several people we know who are experiencing this problem.

I’ve followed this thread for six months. I’ve been to the Apple store. I’ve done every update. I’ve tried without case. I’m so disappointed in the lack of response. This will weigh heavily in my choice of future devices and platforms. I’m 100% Apple products now. For the first time in more than 10+ years I’m considering migrating all my devices, services etc. to another platform.

tried~ failed ~ with case wihouy case tried ~ echo still happen~ noise cancellation yup still echo~ ....,every time I call thru facetime or WhatsApp video call it happen again. Hope it really can be fix

I had the same problem. Took it to three different places before they could figure it out because they kept telling me everything was working just fine. All I had to do was reset the network settings and it solved the issue. Hope it helps.
