IOS 12.0.1 Microphone Not Working

I have the same issue- I went to Apple store and they said they have seen the problem before and my options are $350 to fix, buy a Bluetooth headset, or buy a new phone. They didn’t even do any tests on the phone. Trade in value for my phone was only $250.. it’s pretty ridiculous. My Apple care just ran out 1 month ago so I’m not even covered for repairs. It’s so frustrating

I have same issue in iphone 7 mic after updating to IOS12. First it's working on and off and then it stopped working completely. Recorder app shows no Audio device found. Phone call or WhatsApp call is not working. This seems like Apple defect either with IOS update or Iphone 7 mic defect. I am seeing a pattern online. Lots of user are complaining about same.

i have the same problem after updating to ios 12.1.2. had to send my phone to apple store and pay for the diagnostic. now waiting for the verdict. they say it is probably a hardware problem. and i suppose apple will make me pay for it. i dont think this is fair. phone was just fine before upgrade. is there a way to escalate this matter?

and what happened to your phone? how much did u have to pay for?

Same exact thing happening to my 7 plus after the 12.3.1 update. The techs at the store told me it was a hardware issue and unfixable. But of course, I'm not all that jacked about spending money replacing a phone that I didn't break. It worked perfecy fine before the update.

Same thing happened to me I’m so frustrated apple needs to fix this problem I think is the new update of iOS 12.1.2 the microphone is not working at all even when I plug in the headphone cord is not detected I don’t what to do we probably need to wait until apple brings out a new IOS

The above instruction worked to get my phone working, but when I went to re-add my cards, it turned on multi-factor authentication which then logged me out of my phone. I now have no way to turn off multi-factor as I have no other trusted device and the appleid website no longer has the ability to turn off multi-factor. I'm just a wee bit frustrated. I can't believe Apple could muck up a release as bad as this.

Everyone out there reading this post trend - share with us your microphone issue. I have seen many posts in Portuguese, English and German. Apple, in respect to clients, should not be silent about this problem that is common to many iPhone 7.

If anyone find a solution, please share! After less than 2 years we all have to buy new devices? No, doesn't sound like a solution.

I have also been having this issue with my IPhone 7. I haven’t tried to resolve it with Apple Customer Support yet, but it seems like the results haven’t been very... helpful. This is the first real issue I’ve had with an Apple product, and I’m quite sad... I make frequent calls every day and having that feature stripped is a terrible burden. Please, Apple, fix this.

Both of my phones were affected with this issue after updating the software as well apparently the stress from the update broke our iPhone (7 and a 7plus) s ? all i can do is text and data or use the Bluetooth in my vehicle when will there be a fix for this these phones?they are not even 2 years old yet?

I have the same problem. Why does the customer deserve to pay for this issue? Apple seems to always have bad publicity with software update BREAKING the phones. If not resolved, I'm never buying an Apple product again. Thanks...for nothing

This helped to discover it was the bottom mic. However it worked ok with a regular phone call most of the time. But Voice memo did not work. And apps are not working for microphone recording. I have iPhone 7

Just spoke to Apple support about my microphone on iphone 7 not working. This coincidentally happened around ios update 12. Support person did everything she could but without any luck. Made an appointment for me at Apple Store. My phone is out of my extended warranty so could cost me up $300 to fix. So many other iphone 7 users experiencing the same issue after software update. Apple doesn't acknowledge it's their fault. What to do now?

After an iOS update in December 2017 my daughter's iPhone 7 plus black screened right before warranty expired. Thankfully, because still under warranty, Apple replaced the phone however, gave new device only 90 days warranty. Unfortunately, last week - just 14 months later - the replacement phone experienced the microphone failure after 12.1.4 iOS update. Took phone to Apple store told we'd have to replace the phone but they'd give us $300 credit toward new phone (same credit EVERYONE gets for trading in their phone). I said unacceptable as Apple's update killed the phone. Told too bad out of warranty. I asked to speak to supervisor and said clearly Apple knows this is a problem and that an $800 phone should certainly last longer than 14 months. Supervisor offered same $300 credit. I asked what cheapest replacement phone was they said 7 Plus but not to get the 7 Plus because we'd just have the same problem. !!!!!! I believe Apple did this intentionally because their X models weren't selling. I've lost trust in Apple and feel very let down. We have spent a ton of $ on Apply products, MacBooks, iPhones, iPads. This has definitely destroyed my trust & loyalty and I'm researching alternatives. I would also happily join a Class Action.

Same happened to me! Until now no solution for this? The only option is to buy a new one? so It means they can just do it again?!!! so we can buy a new one? is this a marketing strategy? so disappointed mine was working pretty fine before the update. This sucks. makes me consider to buy android ones

Hi all latest update- again my microphone stopped working

cant hear I coming or outgoing calls

no siri

no voice memo

this is highly not acceptable coz of Apples fault I have to buy another phone

this time it won’t be Apple at all!!!

i am done with it..

i have seen if there is a manufacture issue even cars are recalled!! This is a phone, Apple should acknowledge its glitch and happily accept even after warranty!

I am too ****** that I couldn’t resolve this
