Although iPhones have water resistance, it’s important to note that water resistance is not the same as waterproof. iPhone’s water resistance can decrease over time due to normal wear and tear. It also doesn’t cover all types of liquids or situations. Damage from water or other liquids is not covered under Apple’s warranty.


Here are some steps to help troubleshoot your problem:


1. Dry your iPhone: Make sure your iPhone is dry before you try to use it again. Wipe off any visible moisture and let the iPhone air dry. If it got very wet, you might need to leave it to dry for 24 hours or more.

2. Check the microphone: Make sure there’s nothing blocking the microphone or the receiver. This could be dirt, debris, or a case or screen protector.

3. Restart your iPhone: Sometimes, software glitches can cause issues with your microphone. Try restarting your iPhone to see if it resolves your problem.

4. Update your software: Make sure your iPhone has the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to see if an update is available.


If none of these steps work, your microphone might have been damaged by the water. You should contact Apple or visit an Apple Store for further assistance. They have diagnostic tools that can check for hardware problems.
