Microphone Issues since 17.2.1 update.

Hey all. Updated to iOS 17.2.1 yesterday and having a new issue I haven’t seen brought up yet. Microphone issues. Everything was fine before update.


Now: when I place regular call mic works intermittently. Sometimes people hear me. Sometimes not. Seems to be better when on WiFi than not. Toggling the volumes in sounds/haptics seems to temp fix.


Speakerphone and FaceTime always work.


Checked mic using voice memo and Siri. No problems. Works perfectly.


Also: video recording on front and back camera produces only a static white noise sound. Nothing else records. However, used Instagram app to record a video and this doesn’t happen.


Only change was new iOS update. Used phone prior and it worked. After and have above issues.


Anyone else something similar?


I’ve tried all troubleshooting steps:


cleaned mic ports.

cycled the phone (restart)

reset network settings

have appt with Genius Bar Saturday but really don’t want to be having intermittent phone when my wife is home nine months pregnant 🤷🏻‍♂️

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17
