About 1 out 3 times I use carplay and place a phone call, the microphone just cuts out and other person can’t hear me. I can hear them just fine. This issue only started on last ios update 18.5

Poor microphone quality during phone calls on iPhone 14 Pro While making a phone call with my iPhone 14 pro device, it starts to make a sound to the other party. The sound first goes normal, then it decreases, then it disappears, the microphone has become extremely poor quality, why and what should I do? I used it in noise cancellation and automatic mode, the result did not change [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: microphone 14 pro

iPhone 15 Max microphone cuts out during calls I have an iPhone 15 Max. The microphone is erratic. I could be in a long phone conversation and it works fine, but then suddenly just cuts out. I called the person back and it still wasn’t working, even if I switch to speakerphone. This has happened multiple times on calls with different people.
