Messages can’t convey what your words can. It is one of the universal consensuses, which is why people of all ages believe it. Today’s world is fortunate enough to have sophisticated iPhones and smartphones that allow you to deliver your voice notes to the opposite party in a clearer way, carry out deep conversations with your partner during late-night calls and enjoy any sort of music/audio/recording on your phone related to entertainment, work or education.
Take a moment and ask yourself which component of your iPhone facilitates all the things mentioned hitherto.
You guessed the answer, right, bro?
Yes! It is a microphone! Your microphone is the medium through which all your messages are conveyed to the person sitting on the other side of the world.
What if microphones abruptly stop working? Do you have any idea how to turn on the microphone on iPhones? If not, this place is for you.
Let’s jump into the subject matter without any delays!

It is a common issue in every third person. Dealing with such an issue is rather simple if not direct. Okay, let’s break the solution for you into two easy-to-grasp fractions!
- The first thing you can do to fix the issue is to go to the settings. There you will find a list of all the applications you have installed on your mobile phone from Google or the Play Store, plus a list of in-built applications like messages, phonebook, etc.
- From the list of applications, press the one that you are facing an issue with. All the details of that particular app will pop up before you, like the size of the app, installment date, etc.
- Click on the Off/On option printed before ‘Allow Access to Microphone’. Once permission is granted, your problem will be fixed within a blink of an eye!
Didn’t you find this part breathtakingly simple? You must have! Let’s jump into the next part of the same problem!
- Well, this step is simple and direct. You don’t need to explore the settings of your iPhone. Doesn’t it sound great? I believe it does sound soothing to the ears.
- All you need to do is stay active. Yes, you heard it right! Whenever you install a new application on your phone. A countable number of notifications will start popping up on the main page of the app. These notifications ask about access to contacts, microphones, etc.
- When it asks ‘Allow Access to XYZ Application’. Just allow it and enjoy your time with the app!
What if Microphone Doesn’t Work Smoothly During Phone Calls?
Okay, let’s imagine you made a call to your best friend who is on her honeymoon to tell her about the happenings of graduation day. But you couldn’t wholly express your feelings because of the distortion in her voice.
Of course, it would not be an ideal situation for you, and you would love to step out of it as soon as possible.
You can! You heard it right! You can step out of it by following some simple steps:
- Go to the Sound Recorder of your iPhone. In the bottom left, right, or middle, you will see a spherical, visible red circle. This is called the ‘Record’ button.
- Press it and start saying anything in a voice loud enough to be heard and clear enough to be understood. Once you are done with that, release your fingers.
- Go to the ‘Saved Playlist’ and play the recording. This will, of course, not solve the problem, but it will help you to know if the problem was with your microphone or not.
- If the problem is with your phone, you can step forward and contact Apple Customer Care Support. Tell them about the issue you are confronting with the microphone and take guidance.
Is it Possible to Fix the Malfunctioning Microphone on Your Own at Home?
Well, to be very honest, you can explore different options related to the malfunctioning of the mic, but you might not find the direct treatment to fix the issue.
For fixing the issue, you have to spend some dollars and fuel to get it checked by professionals in your neighborhood. However, if the problem is not that big. You can do either of the two things to make things better:
- Make a Phone Call to Apple Customer Care Service/ Apple Support Service
Let’s don’t play with the words. Making a phone call to Apple Customer Care Centre is not as simple a thing to do as it seems. For contacting them, you need to be good at delivering your point to the other side with minimum words that will leave a maximum impact.
If you are not good at conveying your message and you fail drastically to convey your point to them, you will have to put down your phone without getting any entertaining response.
Of course, you will not love that. But it can happen if one fails to communicate your message to others!
- Clear Out the Sides of Microphones and Back Cover of Your Phone on Your Own
Well, this is the thing we need to inculcate in us. Even if our microphone is working perfectly fine, this is because the aggregation of dust particles and debris can create numerous issues for you.
The debris may attract microorganisms that will affect your ears when you bring your phone close to your ears. To minimize such issues, it is crucial to keep the phone clean.
