Microphone not working for Voice Memo or WhatsApp on iPhone

Whenever I try to use ‎WhatsApp, no sound is picked up or when I am using my voice memo. However, it seems to work fine as I am using it right now to write this as well. It is picked up when recording a video. Any ideas of what I can do this is an iPhone 8

Hello!


Force restart your device: Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


If the issue persists after that, follow the instructions in this Support Article: If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working - Apple Support (CA)


Have a great day!
