I discovered that the volume control for speaker phone mode is independent of the regular iOS volume. This seems to be part of the 17.x update.


Make a call, set to speaker, and then adjust the volume up and it will all work fine.


This was driving me nuts as speakers worked all other apps except in the phone app.

I upgraded my Iphone 14 plus yesterday i.e. on 7th October 2023 to ios 17.0.3 I am facing following issues:


  1. When on regular call and if I use the my phone speaker, the person on the other side is unable to hear me at all. I have to switch it back on earpiece.
  2. When on Whatsapp Video call, the other person is not able to hear me.


This all happened immediately after the update.


Seems I have to move back to ios 16 versions.


Thank you,


Regards,

If it doesn’t work for you when on a call and using “mic standard mode” , some people mentioned getting into a diagnostic phone on the iPhone and it worked for them. I don’t have a clue how to go about that but if you haven’t tried that yet, I would call Apple and also let them know about this post and all the other people having this issue. They need to solve this for everyone regardless if there are different issues/settings causing this.

It's unfortunate Apple deleted my post for simply giving advice on how to handle it. Yes, this is an Apple fix and issue with software and or phone. Demand they fix it, direct them to this post with at least 10 pages of same issue. Knowing what I know now, I'd be relentless in my pursuit. They gave me a new phone and still had the same problem. I had to discover the fix myself. Phone is dee fect ive whether in software or hardware or both.

They are deleting my posts as well about the issue. Was your resolution the diagnostic with another iPhone? That is the ONLY thing I haven’t tried yet. Please advise. I’m desperate! My phone is in perfect condition except for the speakerphone bug (and on FaceTime) regular mic when not on speakerphone the person can hear me fine. As well as with Bluetooth through the car or headphones. Other person hears me fine.
