iPhone 8 microphone

On my iPhone 8 the only app that’s working with my microphone is camera video. I tested it to see if my microphone went bad but it works perfectly fine in camera video( I talked in the video to ensure). I sent voice notes on WhatsApp, recorded a video on Snapchat, and no one can hear me on the phone when I speak, my microphone doesn’t work in any of these apps. I reset my network settings, restart my phone and nothing is working. Can anyone help?

Hello Hepburn2001,


To help resolve the issue with the microphone on your iPhone, follow the steps from this article:

If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working - Apple Support


If the microphone doesn't work in a specific app
1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone.
2. Make sure that the app is enabled.
3. If the app has permission to access your microphone, or if it isn't listed, contact the app developer.



Best Regards.
