Hey Dollqueen,


First, we'd recommend reviewing this article as it provides steps to help resolve issues sending messages: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If the issue isn't with sending the message but rather no audio being recorded, we'd recommend trying the steps in this article to help resolve mic issues: If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working - Apple Support


"Clear the microphones

  1. Remove any screen protectors, films, or cases from your iPhone.
  2. Clear any debris from the openings of your iPhone. 

Contact Apple Support

If you still sound unclear during calls, recordings, or apps, contact Apple Support to discuss service options.


If you want to try more steps on your own

If you prefer, here are some more steps you can try on your own. You might still need to contact Apple Support after following these steps.

If people can't hear you on phone or FaceTime calls

  1. Open the Voice Memos app. 
  2. Tap the Record button , speak at the bottom of your phone, then stop the recording. 
  3. When you play back the memo, you should hear your voice clearly.

If people can't hear you when you're using speakerphone 

  1. Open the Camera app.
  2. Record a video while speaking at the top of your iPhone.
  3. Tap the camera chooser  to switch to the other camera. Then record another video while speaking at the top of your iPhone.
  4. When you play back the videos, you should hear your voice clearly.

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."


If that doesn't help, you may want to provide additional information about the situation.


What happens when you try to record or send a voice message? Are you getting any errors?


Since the issue began, has your iPhone been restarted?


Which version of iOS is running on your device?


Thanks!
