Microphone doesn’t work in WhatsApp

I discovered I had restrictions set, unknowingly. Go to settings, type “restrictions” in search, “content and restrictions” will come up, turn off/on the toggle, this will reset the restrictions. If you need to do additonal check, go to “microphone” select “allow changes”. When you go back to WhatsApp try using microphone and it should ask if you want to allow access, press “allow”.

Troubleshooting iPhone Audio:

Save a Few. You might need to get a new speaker or microphone. But, before making that assertion, see if you can use the following links to troubleshoot this...

A Few Links that May Help:

• If you Hear No Sound or Distorted Sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch Speaker - Apple Support

• Control Audio Playback on AirPods with iPhone - Apple Support

• Adjust Audio and Visual Settings on iPhone - Apple Support

• Adjust the Volume on iPhone - Apple Support

• Volume Output: If you Can't Hear a Person on a Call or Voicemail or if the Sound isn't Clear on your iPhone

• Volume Input: if your Microphone isn’t Working or People Can’t Hear you While you’re on a Call

"Contacted Whatsapp team. Tried reinstalling 2 times. They were suggested some basic troubleshooting tips. That’s it. Nothing worked."

Provide the troubleshooting Tips:

So, what troubleshooting tips did they provide? Providing that may help many for certain.

Contact Apple Support:

Give Apple Support a buz, asking them if they have any thoughts for you one this.

"Microphone doesn’t work in WhatsApp: Thank you for the time. But my microphone doesn’t have any issues. Coz it’s working properly in normal calls, facetime, whatsapp business, voice memos and every other apps in the phone. Issue have occurred only in Whatsapp."

You are welcome.

In your Original Post, you typed "Contacted them". Who is "them"? Is this WhatsApp you contacted? Or is it Apple you contacted? Contact WhatsApp --if they can't help you, then uninstall, and then reinstall the app.
