I'm not able to use the built-in microphone on my iPhone 7 Plus after upgrading to iOS 15.4.1. Even dictation or voice memos just give two beeps as if the microphone started and then immediately stopped.
I've noticed if I'm on a bluetooth headset, the speech input works fine.

Thanks, but I also know how to use Google. This is a bug introduced in iOS 15.4.1 with no workaround:
After the iOS 15.4.1 update I can longer … - Apple Community
15.4.1 microphone issue - Apple Community
Microphone stops working regularly - Apple Community
Similar bugs reported in earlier version of iOS 15:
Problems after update to ios 15 - Apple Community
iOS 15 update lost microphone use - Apple Community
Would be nice if Apple could prioritize fixing this. Or perhaps re-allow users to perform software downgrades.
