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

I have an iPhone 12 and I updated to iOS 17 yesterday. When I receive or place calls, I can hear the person but they can’t hear me. I tried my phone, speakerphone, AirPods, and my car Bluetooth and nothing works. Voice memos work and FaceTime audio works. I’m only experiencing this issue with calls. I’ve restarted my phone several times and nothing works.

iPhone XS, iOS 14

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 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.
