iPhone 7 Mic Problem iOS 14

I fixed my microphone guys!! I saw this on YouTube. First put your phone in airplane mode for 10 seconds, then turn off airplane mode and immediately go to reset your network settings. General >Reset > Reset Network Settings. It took me two tries and it works! I can use FaceTime, make calls and record memos and videos.

Hope this helps👍

Same here! And I am actually tired of the **** these companies throw on us. It's a shame how a device to make phone call is handicapped by an update and the 'best minds of the world' do not feel a bit of moral/professional courtesy to make haste and work on a fix (or acknowledge it). Switch those turtle necks to something comfy, Devs.

[UPDATE] Probable Solution found

My phone (iPhone 7) mic stopped working as you guys can figure out.

Coincidently I signed out of my Apple account and signed in again using another Apple ID. And as soon as I did that, the mic started working again!

Facetime works, Siri works, Video calls on WhatsApp works, Voice memos work and most importantly, I can make phone calls again.

I don't know how it fixed the problem but it might have something to do with the associated Apple ID or whatever.

Earlier I had reset the phone in every possible way but that didn't solve the problem as well, but now, it has.

If that can fix it, it's worth a try. So, give it a try before buying a new phone.

-Go to settings and sign out.

-Use another Apple ID to sign-in

-Check if its working (I spent at least 30 mins using the new Apple ID before noticing the problem was solved)

-If it works, you can continue using this new ID or sign-out from this and sign-in using your older ID

This could be a coincidence as well. And who knows the problem might start again.

But as of now, it's working fine. I will update if the situation changes.

With (voice memos)

Same. My microphone doesn’t work. Please help!

Same issue here! Possible clue: under restrictions, privacy, microphone... it references which apps have requested access to your photos. It says nothing about the microphone.

You should have an update to fix camera and flash light check your settings it’s 14.01 update but it won’t fix the microphone

As soon as I did the up date I’m having the same problem Took off my protective case. Works perfectly. Shouldn’t be that way but it is unfortunately

Here is an article I found re. the 7 and faulty mic, which Apple did offer free repairs for a little while...

Same. Perfectly fine phone and now my microphone doesn’t work at all in any case and I can’t talk on calls

I cannot hear on my phone after the 14. 0 1 update - I can make a call, they other person can hear me but I can hear nothing. Calls work with Bluetooth and cable connections to vehicle system

I have the same issue with the static noise. Pressed the volume down + power button to reset but still not working, the static is on and off and.

Take your phone cover off. Had the same issue. Removed cover and now it’s good. Don’t know why this is happening. So wierd.

Update to 14.0.1 to fix camera and flashlight issue

it won’t fix the mic/speaker issues

by switching off the BT i did refer to the tab in the settings app.
