Iphone xs microphone not working sometimes

Microphone not working on iphone xs when receiving call?


It Seems that the problem is the placement of the microphone which is next to the charging port. When using your right hand to call you kinda use your little finger to support the phone and your little finger just block the 3 dots for the microphone.

iPhone XS, iOS 13

Hi Nabeelgokhool,


Thanks for posting your question. I see you're having an issue with the microphone on your iPhone XS.


You mentioned you believe your finger might be blocking the microphone. Does the microphone seem to work on calls if you make sure the microphone is unobstructed?


Does the same thing happen in other apps, like Voice Memos?


It may be worth checking out this link, as it covers a number of possibly helpful suggestions for a microphone issue: If the microphones on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch aren't working


Feel free to post back here with an update if needed!


Take care>
