Mic not responding for messaging

Hello Gmaretires52,

It appears that you're having an issue with the microphone on your iPhone. We see that you were reviewing the resource, If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working

If so, and the issue persists, this could indicate that there is a hardware issue. In that case, we suggest that you have your device evaluated at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

You can follow this link to set that up: iPhone Repair & Service

Take care.

Hi Gmaretires52,

If you're finding this only happens in some apps, it might help to back up and update, depending on the device and software version you're currently using. Here's how: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If the issue persists in both third-party and built-in apps after updating, use this link to reach Apple: Get Support

Take care.
