Microphone

My microphone on Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok has stopped working. I reseted my phone, updated it to IOS 15.6.1 yet nothing has changed.

Hi, lizzy_wortman.


If it's isolated to those specific applications, and is otherwise working fine, you likely have microphone access blocked on those apps.


This article explains in detail how to grant access to the microphone and other hardware features: Control access to hardware features on iPhone - Apple Support


"Review or change access to the camera, microphone, and other hardware features

  1. Go to Settings  > Privacy.
  2. Tap a hardware feature, such as Camera, Bluetooth, Local Network, or Microphone.

The list shows the apps that requested access. You can turn access on or off for any app on the list."


Cheers.
