Callers can’t hear me on calls after iOS 17 update

I got a whole 30 seconds of if correction after resetting the network settings. 🤦🏻‍♀️

IOS 17.1.1 & WatchOS 10.1.1 have been some of the sloppiest and most dysfunctional OS releases I have experienced as a lifelong Apple customer. Both were riddled with bugs pre-release, post release, and in the subsequent update patches. And yet, the most basic of functions simply do not work. It's a shame because the hardware is well engineered, but the sloppy OS releases only disenfranchise and frustrate users in a way that tarnishes the brand. So much so that I have stopped using the watch and have no plans to replace it. I was getting ready to update my phone to an iPhone 15 Pro, but decided that when my current iPhone dies, I will just replace it with something other than an Apple product. Call me silly, but I do expect to be able to make calls from my iPhone and to be heard, which is currently not possible. How long before they realize Craig is in over his head and the result is that Apple is loosing customers because of it.

iPhone SE updated to 17.1.1. Callers can’t hear me but I hear them. I am not proficient with iPhone. I did try to silence phone….2 days ago, don’t remember what I did, BUT people could hear me after that. Now they can’t.

This is unbelievable, for Apple to have this issue and can’t fix it! A trillion dollar company!!!

I can’t hear callers when the call me since the update. Apple need to sort this out asap.

I’ve tried all of these and it’s still not working. It’s been months since I could use the phone app and it’s really getting old. I reset my network setting last night and it worked for maybe an hour. Tried resetting it again today and nothing. I can’t hear them and they can’t hear me using the phone app but if I call on messenger or Snapchat it works. If I try to use the speaker calling someone it turns the speaker off.

People can’t hear me at random times when I’m on the phone. I got a new phone, because I thought there was something wrong with my old phone. Same problem! I chatted with Verizon, talked to Verizon, and no help. Any ideas Apple? I tried everything you said to try below, and it still doesn’t work!!

Why should we have to do this? It's a Phone. We should be able to reliably make and receive calls without having to disrupt our business/etc. because our device fails to work. It's especially difficult when we've been on hold with, say, APPLE for a half an hour and then we have to call back?

How can this be a carrier issue when there are several people with the same issue! When is Apple going to fix the issue? Maybe it is time to change phones -several of my friends have changed to Goggle phones and love them.

That’s where I landed after more than 30 years with Apple. The latest releases of MacOS, IOS, and Watch OS are riddled with issues. Several subsequent incremental updates addressed none of them.

The decline in a reliable OS and the lost productivity that goes with sloppy OS releases is inexcusable and intolerable. The only reliable fix I can see is moving to a stable and reliable ecosystem and at present Apple is seemingly incapable of delivering a stable and reliable OS on any of its devices.

i don’t talk on the phone too often but have had to make several phone calls last 2 days and just noticed the same exact thing.

Seems to be intermittent: the mic keeps going in and out. we can hear each other just fine and then all of a sudden, they can’t hear me at all but I can hear them… luckily the last person waited long enough (while I frantically waved my phone around yelling, “can you hear me? Can you hear me???”), around maybe 30 seconds, and the mic started working again.

i don’t think it’s iOS related because i still have iOS 15.6.1 (iPhone 12)… unless it’s been since that update….

but what could it be if it’s affecting so many of us???

it’s incredibly frustrating.

(I had been on hold w/my dr’s office for over 30 minutes and when they finally answered, they couldn’t hear me so they hung up. 😫)

I also have same problem, started this week.

The microphones are working well I guess as I tested them by recording a video using both front and back camera and facetime works perfectly as well. The microphone is not working when I place a call. I can hear the person at the other end but they either barely hear me or they hear strange noises. While waiting the call to go through and while speaking from my side I hear a sort of wind blowing noise in the background but if I put the call on speaker everything is fine and clear. I've encountered same problem as well when calling or someone calls me through WhatsApp. Same strange sound. Also didn't hear my voice after recording myself on voice memos, just heard the usual strange noise same like when I'm calling through mobile network.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The solution that Apple has put out doesn't work. Apple needs to take people that have supported them for years and listen to their concerns. Now my phone doesn't work properly. The only way people can hear me is when I put in my earbuds jack in the phone. The person on the other end cannot hear me when the speaker is on or off. This happen when I updated my phone. This needs to fixed immediately. When you thousands of dollars for an item you want it to work properly and then you want a company that appreciates it customers and cares for their customers instead of just putting random information out that they know doesn't work.

I had an iPhone 14 Pro and for months callers could not hear me but I could hear them clearly. I thought it was a hardware issue and I got a new iPhone 15 Pro. I am having the same issue, callers cannot hear me but I can hear them. I have an excellent signal for my cellular service, full bars. I have already tried the basic troubleshooting: turning the phone off & on, resetting the network settings, calling my carrier who says everything is fine on their end...what more do I need to do just to have a simple phone call work properly? I had no idea that this issue was related to a recent update.

And your settings can you fix that? They can’t hear me, but I can hear them and I have my call back on high. It just started like two days ago. I don’t know what to do really crazy ideals. I can fix that. Any devices needed?
