It can be frustrating when you encounter issues with your iPhone 14 microphone. However, there are several things you can try to address the problem. Here are some possible causes and solutions:


1. Check App Permissions: Make sure that Discord and Messenger have the necessary microphone permissions. You can do this by going to your iPhone settings, finding the respective app, and ensuring that microphone access is enabled.


2. Update Apps: Keep both Discord and Messenger up to date with the latest versions. Outdated apps may have compatibility issues with newer iOS versions.


3. Update iOS Software: Ensure that your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Software updates often include bug fixes and improvements that can resolve such issues.


4. Restart Your iPhone: While you mentioned you've restarted your phone, try doing a force restart by following the appropriate steps for your iPhone model. This can sometimes address software glitches.


5. Reset App Settings: In iPhone settings, you can reset the settings for the apps causing the issue (Discord and Messenger). This won't delete the apps but will reset preferences to default.


6. Test Microphone Hardware: Try testing the microphone in other apps or during phone calls to see if the issue is consistent across all applications. If the problem persists, it could be a hardware issue, and you may need to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store.


7. Check Audio Settings in Apps: Check the audio settings within the Discord and Messenger apps. They might have specific settings for microphone input that need adjustment.


8. Check for Interference: External factors, such as interference or obstructions around the microphone area, could impact its functionality. Ensure there's no physical blockage or interference.


If none of these solutions resolve the issue, it's advisable to reach out to Apple Support for further assistance. They can help you diagnose the problem and provide more specific guidance based on your particular situation.
