- With Bluetooth on, audio may go to a headset or car.
- A voice memo tests the bottom microphone; videos test the front and rear ones.
- If sound fails in one app only, check that app’s microphone permission.
- If it started after an update, restart and check the settings.
- Back up your data before the repair.
01Test each microphone
| Test | Which microphone |
|---|---|
| Recording in Voice Memos | Bottom microphone |
| Front-camera video | Front microphone |
| Rear-camera video | Rear microphone |
| Call on speakerphone | Bottom and other microphones |
If a recording is silent or very quiet, that microphone is faulty.
02Step-by-step fix
- Turn off Bluetooth. Disconnect paired devices.
- Remove the case. It may cover the microphone holes.
- Clean the holes. Turn the phone off and gently clean them with a soft, dry brush.
- Check permissions. In Settings › Privacy & Security › Microphone, the app’s permission should be on.
- Update. If it started after an update, restart and install any pending update.
Menu names vary by iOS version.
