Hi lailanie28,

We want to help with your iPhone 12 mini. When you say "mic mode" is unavailable, do you mean that you can't place calls on speakerphone or are you encountering something else? We want to make sure we fully understand what you are encountering, which can help us provide next steps.

Also, if you haven't already, you can see if restarting your iPhone 12 mini may help. Restarting refreshes the iOS and can sometimes help resolve unexpected issues. If needed, the steps below show how:

"How to restart your iPhone X, 11, 12, 13, or later

Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo."

Those steps are from this article: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support Please let us know if that helps or if you've tried restarting already.

Take care!
