Hi lorralee,


Do you experience with the microphone only in specific apps? If so, you may need to enable permission to use the mic in that app.


See the step to confirm if the microphone is enabled as well as tips for if your microphone doesn't work in general in the article below.


"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."


Cheers!
