It sounds like there might be a specific issue with the microphone settings or hardware related to phone calls on your iPhone 11. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:


1. **Restart your iPhone**: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve many software-related issues.


2. **Check for iOS updates**: Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for any available updates.


3. **Check microphone settings**: Go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone and ensure that the Phone app has permission to access the microphone.


4. **Reset settings**: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This won't erase your data, but it will reset all settings to their defaults, which can sometimes fix issues like this.


5. **Test in Safe Mode**: Press and hold the Side button and either volume button until the power off slider appears. Then, press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo. This will start your iPhone in Safe Mode. Test if the microphone works during a call in Safe Mode. If it does, there may be a third-party app causing the issue.


6. **Check for physical obstructions**: Make sure there's nothing blocking the microphone, like a case or debris.


7. **Contact Apple Support**: If none of the above steps work, it might be a hardware issue, and you may need to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store for further assistance.


Try these steps and see if they help resolve the issue with your iPhone 11 microphone during phone calls.
