iPhone 7 Mic Problem iOS 14

I have the same problem. But the difference is that my microphone does not sound when I make a video call. Instead of hearing my voice, they hear a loud beep. From there with voice memos it works fine.

I bit the bullet and tried resetting to factory default settings, mic still doesn’t work. Hardware diagnostics prove there is no hardware issues, it’s 100% on iOS14 firmware. iOS14 has destroyed my perfectly working iPhone. The company basically installed a virus in my phone to destroy a product to ransom me into buying a new one. This will be the last Apple product I buy.

For me the Phone first worked after moving to iOS 14.

But first the WiFi failed. Then i updated to 14.0.1.

Sudenly none of the microphones worked again, and the flashlight is buggy.

I did hard-reset, restart, delete network settings, delete all settings...

I can't make phone calls and can't fix it. It is a nightmare.

A reminder to please contact Apple support and post this problem on social media even though they likely can’t help. The developers will only prioritize a fix if we yell the loudest.

I have tried EVERYTHING and there is nothing that can be done for the mic issues until an IOS update fixes whatever problem the new firmware is causing.

We have the same problem with iPhone 7. Called Apple support, they asked several questions, asked to reset network settings but nothing has happened. He suggested me to bring the phone to the official Apple service. I will try tomorrow but the problem is that the screen got broken and I am afraid they will refuse even to consider its repair. I asked if there are several users with the same problem but the answer was that he’s not allowed to share such information :-)

after trying everything, i have completely deleted the iPhone 7 and recovered from a backup. the microphones still don't work, but at least i've got all my settings back, which i deleted previously...

Told it’s an out of warranty replacement (at my cost) or an independent repair

if I get an independent repair and it doesn’t work because why would it apple can just blame them

Never been an apple fan for this reason. The mess up and expect you to pay to fix it

accidently many iPhone 7 users have problem with the audio IC exactly since they updated to iOS 14. interesting coincidence.

furthermore we as users also might claim: "it seems like an audio IC issue. but if you google it, you will find further explanation for this issue".

It’s funny that ios14 has a new feature that brings a small orange dot on when the mic is in use and suddenly loads of people have an issue.with the mic

if I was an apple coder that’s where I would start looking for the bug

I have a iPhone 7 Plus on IOS 14.0.1. Originally i had no issue with calls however as f yesterday I was getting some static noise coming through on some of my calls and now I have no audio at all. The microphone still works when I play back voicemail messages so Im totally confused. Sounds like a software bug. Please fix Apple!

i’m having the same issue ! i called apple using my AirPods and they sent me to the apple store for a Genius Bar appointment and all they said was to wait it out until there’s an update or they suggested i could get a new phone if i didn’t have AirPods or anything and needed to take more calls :/

I have the same issue with iphone 11.

after updating to iOS14 the mic stopped working on speaker and voice recorder.

it works on phone calls without speaker and on the camera app (taking video).

Hope it will be fixed soon

I recently updated my iPhone 7 to IOS 14. Now the microphone doesn't work so I can't make phone calls (they can't hear me and I can't hear them, send audio messages or talk to Siri. Anyone else encounter this issue. Is there a way to fix this. Please help, urgent!

Voice function is being blocked out for all apps including voice memo.

Hi Silent War, just stop it. How can we follow your step of troubleshooting when all voice applications were shutdown after the upgrade? The record key on voice memo stops working, when try to record video, mic mute icon appeared without the option to unmute. FaceTime, watsapp unable to make voice calls or even connect. Error prompt msg “unable to use mic” appears on every voice or video call apps while it appears that the microphones stays enabled when checked in setting.

when making phone call, the speaker option is being “blocked”- won’t activate no matter how many times you hit the “speaker” icon.

cannot hear the caller or speak to the caller.

bad wifi connection, safari keeps getting laggy or doesn’t even browse.

no internet connection even when mobile data is on.

this is definitely a bug!

SilentWar, this is definitely not a board issue. The new iOS 14 actually block the voice function! It just disables the feature! Voice memo just stopped working, record button doesn’t work, voice translation stopped working, all voice related app or function just stopped working. How are you expecting us to carry such test when the function of the app won’t work anymore? Further more, it drains the battery life faster and web browser/ internet connection gets laggy!

If upgrading iOS can cause a breakdown to hardware such as microphone and speaker, then Apple ought to be ashamed as this means Apple didn’t do enough crash test.
