Troubleshooting iPhone Microphone:


A. Restore from a Backup:

Have a backup that has this configuration working, of the same iOS (26)? If so, restore from it. If no backup was ever made, then take this as a learning experience every so often. That way, you can have something to restore it from, should anything go wrong, such as this.


B. Report this Bug to Apple:

Do your Part: These are user-to-user forums. Apple rarely reads these forums on their own time as it is. So, provide Apple with feedback on this.  Apple wont get back to you directly, but the more they hear of this, the more they will know what is going on, and what needs to be fixed. Apple will know nothing if this, if you don't report it to them.

To Provide Feedback:

  1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
  2. Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
  3. Comment: that this all started after installing an update. Include the URL of this thread.
  4. Proceed form there as necessary

Troubleshooting iPhone Microphone:


Flip the Silent Switch:

The iPhone silent switch allows you to quickly silence your device by flipping the switch located on the side of the phone. When the switch is flipped toward the back, the phone enters Silent mode, and when flipped toward the front, it turns the sound back on.
