Phone Mutes on Answering Calls and randomly during I have an iPhone 11 running on iOS 15.6.1. All of a sudden when I go to answer a call it is automatically answering it muted so the caller can't hear me. I thought it might be me hitting the button so I answered a call without lifting it to my ear and the same thing happened. It has also started to mute randomly during the phone call. What can I do to fix this?

After the IOS 15.7.8 update on my iPhone 7s I cannot answer calls using speaker/microphone. The microphone works for voice memo, and I can answer calls using airpods and Bluetooth. When I answer calls it immediately greys out microphone and cannot select speaker. If I shut the phone off and turn back on the microphone works fine in voice memo, just not for calls. I hesitate to reset because I don’t want to lose apps and data. This all started after the last update. Bluetooth works fine to answer via external audio.

Thanks, I found out the culprit was my Apple watch.

Turn it on, then off.
