Same issue after updating my phone to 17.1.2

I am like all the others that yesterday my earpiece stopped working. I can only hear calls through the speaker. And when the audio aid turned on, I could faintly hear. Need a fix.

In iPhone 11 Pro Max after update ios 17.0.1 ear speaker is not working

I have a similar issue. I have an iPhone 12 Pro and since 16.1.1 I have been unable to listen to any kind of audio message on ear. Yes, I’ve tried to raise the volume during the voice message but the buttons don’t work at all but they are completely fine during voice calls. I have also tried to force restart the iphone but of course it did not work at all. Also, I’ve tried to update to iOS 16.1.2 but it did not fix the issue at all. I am wondering what to do next, because I’ve tried to contact Apple Support by phone but the operator unfortunately could not do much apart from suggesting to reset all settings. I am quite frustrated so I’d appreciate if anybody could share some opinions or suggestions!

The earpiece speaker on my IPhone 12 Pro stopped working after I recently updated my phone to the new IOS 17.2 There have been not settings changes, no physical damage and YES, I’ve already tried every single ‘fixing sound issues’ article on Apple Support along with YouTube. None of those things worked. Please Apple resolve my issue.

It still happens on IOS 16.2. But I found that the problem is with "black screen mode". When you put it close to your ear, the screen goes black and the sound button is disabled.

is your issue fixed now? Today I’m facing the same issue suddenly. Not sure what to do..

Feeling frustrated and scammed after going through the troubleshooting steps and still not having the receiver work after an update.

It's unfortunate that the representative from Apple informed there was nothing they could do besides sending the phone in for repairs, on my own dime. it's important that Apple provides transparent and honest information to their customers about their options for resolving the issue.

It's also understandable that we all feel it's unfair to have to go through the hassle of sending in your phone, pay for the repair, especially since the issue was caused by an Apple update.

I can’t hear the ear speaker either, for all calls I have to push the speaker button for the caller to hear me and for me to hear them

I had the same problem but I figured out a workaround that consists of a few steps:

• Play a voice message and get the phone close to your ear
• Take it away again and now the message will be paused
• Open the control center and keep sliding the volume slider up with your finger while you get the phone close to your ear again (which will resume the paused message, at least on telegram)
• Now you should be able to hear it from the ear speaker

I can't adjust the volume of an earpiece speaker during calls, also while listening voice messages on WhatsApp etc. It is only about the earpiece speaker, not the main speaker and sounds. I contacted Apple support and tried factory reset and diagnostics, but it doesn't work. How can iPhone users have this issue, my phone is very new. Even with cheap android I never had such issues. But the most expensive phone has it. It is just super annoying.

No don’t. Get a Samsung. This is my last iPhone. I should have learned my lesson when Apple did the battery virus and now this. They have to stay in business. They have to mess the phones up so you don’t keep them long.

SAME HERE APPLE

I have gone through every step. I have changed nothing. Everything works perfectly fine except for the internal ear speaker. I can still hear calls but I have to be in a quiet place. I work in a woodshop so this is not always easy. I usually have to step out or use my wireless headphones. PLEASE UPDATE THE SOFTWARE

It’s one apple does dislike the batteries years ago where they sent out a virus to mass peoples phones up especially if they’re paid off they mess up your phone so you will go get another one. They don’t care they give you a small little discount as long as you buy buy buy new new new.
