Bottom mic problem iPhone 8 Plus

When I am on the phone I get complaints that my mic sounds muffled if I have the phone anywhere near my face. Just upgraded from the iPhone 6 Plus. Last phone never had this issue and I have not changed the way I hold a phone. I just got this phone 2 days ago and it could make me return it if this isn’t resolved. I cannot hold my phone in an uncomfortable way for long conversations. Please help!

iPhone 12 Pro Max bad speaker phone mic Does anybody know of a fix yet, to fix when you’re on a phone call on speakerphone, and the other person says that you’re breaking up and they can’t understand you even though the phones only a couple inches away? If I hold the microphone directly in front of my face, they can hear me fine. I tried with my case off, and it was the same thing

iPhone 8 mic issue I have a strange problem on my iPhone 8. The bottom mic is working fine for phone calls and also for recording audio on Messages. But when I use the mic for an app, for example Voice Memos, the sound is suddenly very faint and muffled. I've tried restarting, reset, updates, everything.

Iphone microphone not working Hello, I was using my iPhone XR today, and I realized that there are some issues with it. I cannot use the phone app. It works on speaker, but it doesn't work normally. Before anyone recommends the troubleshooting steps, I have already done them. I tested it with memos, videos from both cameras and all that. I know it's not the issue of the microphone because it works perfectly on applications such as Messenger, where there is no difference. It is only the phone app, particularly when I don't use the 'speaker' option where it just stops working, and has that static type noise. You can only hear me when I talk while basically kissing the bottom of the phone. Is this a hardware issue I am completely unaware of, or is it some kind of software one? Any help would be much appreciated.
