FaceTime not working on iPad after iOS26 update

Since updating my iPad to iOS26, my FaceTime (both audio and video) have stopped working properly. I can see and hear the person on the other end, but they cannot hear me (they can see me though). The sound is distorted on their end … it sounds like I’m close to a vacuum or something. Anyone else encounter any problems with FaceTime since updating? I wish I could revert back to iOS18.

iPad, iPadOS 16
