I hear my own echo when on phone calls on my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

I hear my own echo when on a call using the speakerphone, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay using the cable and just using the phone speaker, I have tried everything. This is very annoying and distracting. I have seen similar issues on other posts, but I have not seen any answers to resolve the issues. Is this a hardware problem or an iOS problem? My system and all of my apps are updated whenever updates are available.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hello d-One_BlackStream,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to help resolve the echo issue so you can hear normally when using your iPhone.

To confirm, you only hear the echo when using the speaker? Does it also happen when you record yourself using the Voice Memos app?


Try the steps here for a distorted sound issue:

"If you prefer, here are some more steps you can try on your own. After following these steps, you might still need to contact Apple Support to discuss service options.

  1. Remove all screen protectors, films, or cases from your device. 
  2. Check the speaker opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. On iPhone only, make sure that the receiver isn't blocked or dirty. 
  3. If necessary, clean the speaker or receiver opening with a small, soft-bristled brush. Make sure that the brush is clean and dry.
  4. Go to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics), and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. If you don't hear any sound, or if your speaker button on the Ringer and Alerts slider is dimmed, your speaker might need service.
  5. If you hear sound, try making a call with your iPhone and turn on speakerphone. On iPad or iPod touch, make a FaceTime call. If you still can't hear, or hear static or crackling, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try to call again later, or from a different location."


This Apple Support page has the full details: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

We hope this helps get the sound working perfectly again.

Cheers!
