Hi Elias_Brooks, it’s frustrating when key features stop working! To check and potentially fix your iPhone microphone:

  1. App Permissions: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone. Ensure the apps you want to use the mic with are enabled.
  2. Check for Obstructions: Make sure nothing is physically blocking the small microphone holes at the bottom or top of your iPhone.
  3. Restart iPhone: A simple restart can often resolve temporary glitches.
  4. Update iOS: Go to Settings > General > Software Update. Keeping your iOS up-to-date helps with overall phone stability and fixes bugs.
