Hello Aircool66,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We understand the microphone on your iPhone has stopped working, and we're happy to help you with this.


It sounds like there's an app using your microphone. We see you may have already reviewed If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working.

Were you able to try all of the steps in that article? If so, let's go ahead and close all of your apps to ensure there aren't any apps using trying to use the microphone:

Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support

Next, Restart your iPhone.

Test the microphone again. You can try creating a voice memo to see if it works: Make a recording in Voice Memos on iPhone



Best Regards.
