C. Are you Using a Case?

Make sure that the back camera is not covered(somewhat) - For note: the microphone part is located between the lens and the flash. So, make sure all is not covered.

First, try a forced restart. If that doesn't work take it in to the Apple store to have it looked at.


• Press and quickly release the volume up button

• Press and quickly release the volume down button

• Press and hold the side button.

• When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it diagnosed.
