Re: "My microphone for phone calls doesn’t work"
We do not know which iPhone model you are using for phone calls, or which iOS version is installed.
It may be a network or reception issue that your service provider may be able to help with.
You might want to check you do not have "Do Not Disturb" or "Airplane Mode" turned on,
and
are not restricted by "Screen Time" settings.
and
you could try turning off "Low Power" mode if you have it turned on, and see if that makes any difference
