iPhone 7 Mic Problem iOS 14

• That theory regarding light switches wasn't mine, it was yours. You're also aware that iphones come in many model numbers - iphone 7 specifically A1660, A1778, A1785, A1780 - so why would EVERYONE have this problem? The plus models will have their own. And how do you explain apples diagnostics all confirming that everyone's hardware is fine. And yes, you'd think they notice, but do they? The truth of the matter is that as phones become older, a company will care less and less about issues that may occur to the phone. I'm simply stating facts and you seem to be more concerned about only talking about why a device fails instead of helping people troubleshoot. I won't be responding to anymore of your posts - you seem to be overly defensive for whatever reason. Thank you for your response though.

Especially that they do not point out exactly what is wrong with the phone and needs to be fixed. They say is hardware the fact that is so generalized makes them look much more guilty. So the people that actually built this phone cannot diagnose the problem? Really? This is what shows them that the phone is defective

I found out something else when i tried to change some parameters:

When i tried to activate the voice control from the accessibility panel, this icon appears showing that the mic is disabled followed by this message that indicate that mic is being used by another application.

Maybe this is the error with the new IOS14

1)

2)

Google loop disease. iPhone 7 and 7 plus models are known to have it. Apple removed my post so let’s see if this one stays.

push to the right and bottom of the apple logo on the screen during a hard reset, if your mic starts working while you press, it’s the audio ic that’s separated.

Mines doing the same but also can’t record voice memo, camera doesn’t work, flash light doesn’t work, and can use loudspeaker in my calls. Apple support want me to restore my phone to factory settings!

My iPhone 7 mic stopped working as well less than 24hrs after upgrading to iOS 14.0.1! This defeats the most basic functionality of a mobile phone! Can’t fathom why such a fundamental glitch with this new update! Fix it ASAP APPLE! U ain’t helping urself gain any support with frustrated consumers!!!

I’m having the exact same issue with my iPhone 7 Plus. I have to use my Apple Watch to make phone calls. My camera is not working. Both photo and video, not working. Last night, I discovered. Using my earbuds is completely useless. I’ve went through all my options, including resetting my phone as a “new iPhone”

If there’s no additional updates by the end of this week. I have to call Apple support from my Apple Watch.

iOS 11 was terrible. iOS 14... The worst “upgrade” should be called, a downgrade.

Same issue. “Not a known issue”... similar response as the battery non-issue. They actually had me get a new sim card😂 what a waste of time.

Apple, please step up and fix this IOS 14 update created issue!

My daughter has an iPhone 7 and had the same issues as the rest of you - microphone, camera, flashlight, etc. The update resolved many of the issues (except the microphone) - which was then resolved by resetting the phone and restarting. This is an N of 1 solution, and it may not be repeatable.

After 14.0.1 update my camera is working again

i tried the hard reset but my phone is still silent and mic off when making calls.

the phone works on Bluetooth but won’t recognise when I plug in headphones

Apple hurry up with the fix.

Apple never admit they have an issue but suddenly a “security update” comes out and it fixes the issue

I have same issues with the IPhone 7 Plus.

Upgraded to IOS 14 and the mic and the camera stopped working. Then, updated to IOS 14.0.1 it helped with the camera but not the microphone.

Ok, work can wait but what if I will have a life-threatening emergency and need to call 911?

Apple, what is going on?!

I'm really disappointed.

My phone is having the same issue and I have an IPhone 7 Plus . Apple Please Fix This I Have To Make Phonecalls On A Regular And It’s Not Safe For Anyone To Have A Phone That We Can’t Make Phone Calls On .

I’m curious is everyone who is posting has called into Apple support? Has anyone/everyone? The responses I have gotten are “it is not a known issue...”

I referenced all the community posts I’ve found, and their response was “you can find anything you want in the community boards”.

Does anyone have a vpn configuration running? I run one thru Bark for Kids. Had apple support restore to factory settings. phone-call worked. hung up with apple, reinstalled bark, and microphone no longer works.
