iPhone 11 speakerphone cutting out

My girlfriend and I both have iPhone 11’s. While talking to each other if one of us is on speakerphone the other catches every other word. This happens on both phones, if I activate speakerphone she only here’s every other word and vice versa if she activated speaker phone. If you turn speakerphone off there are no issues. Is there a setting that can fix this? Is this a common issue? Thanks

iPhone 11, iOS 13

This has to be an Apple fault rather than a carrier fault. I live in Melbourne and so have an Australian service provider. Is anyone else plagued by iPhone 11 Pro Max making interrupting random calls?

WTF, jus tried doing the mute suggestion when both I and my wife were talking to each other both using speakerphone.

Doing this recreates the problem exactly.

So now what, are they still gonna deny there is no problem?

I guess the only way to prove this since they don’t listen/care here, is to go to an apple store, get two employees, take one with you out of the store, and call the other guy iPhone to iPhone over speaker, and show them that this is they way to recreate the problem, and what are they gonna do about it now?

I'm from portugal, iphone 11, same issue

When on a call if the other person mutes herself she can finally hear me talk. Everything has to be completly silent on the other end for people to hear me, ESPECIALLY in a pandemic, where group calls are a thing, there's no point being in a group call as no one can listen to me.

I am utterly shocked to see this problem has been going on for over a year and apple STILL HAS DONE NOTHING.

The only solution? Headphones

I have had the same issues. I am on my second iPhone 11 (via warranty) and the second phone has the same issues. Apple tried to tell me that it must be one of my apps causing the problems. They would not let me restore from back up and encouraged me to add apps back slowly to ensure the phone doesn’t have any more call issues. During this transition, I lost contacts, music, and ringtones. I worked with Apple to get them back but they couldn’t do it. Through this entire process Apple tried to make me responsible for these issues… I’m glad to see that it’s not just me; others are having the same issues. Interesting though… my wife has the same exact model and has never had a problem… and we bought our original iPhone 11’s on the same day in the same transaction. Apple needs to make this right for all of us who have issues. How do we make this happen?

Hello! This happens with the iPhone 12 Pro and pro max as well!

My mother has an 11 pro max, and she has this problem, she only has use of her right hand, so she uses speaker a lot, but it is near impossible with this malfunction. It is very hard for her to do practically anything while she is on the phone now, because she cannot use speaker. PLEASE FIX!


I thought maybe it was just here phone, but I upgraded from an X to a 12 pro a couple days ago, and so did my dad… we now all have the same problem. Very disappointed in this.

Same thing with my IPhone 11, I make a call, I put it on speaker phone and the other person I am talking to can’t hear me at all or bits and pieces of it. When I take it off of speaker phone it works perfectly fine and they can hear me clearly. It is a lot of money not to be able to talk to someone on speaker phone and I call bs on signal being the issue.

I found this reddit post that said his problem went away when he restored his iPhone and did NOT restore from an iCloud backup. My wife's iPhone was restored from an iCloud backup. Does everyone here who has the problem restored their phone from an iCloud backup? Has anyone not restored their iPhone from a backup and still have the issue? https://www.reddit.com/r/iPhone12Pro/comments/ofuz4a/iphone_12_pro_audio_cutting_out_on_facetime_issue/
