Android

If your microphone isn’t working, try these steps recommended by Android.

  • Check your microphone isn’t obstructed. Your microphone has openings on it, and if dirt particles accumulate, it can stop the microphone from working correctly. Check your hands or fingers aren’t covering it too when in use.
  • Check your cell phone network signal is strong. If your cell phone signal is weak, it can affect how well your microphone appears to be working.
  • Check the microphone is enabled. Follow the above instructions to ensure your microphone is enabled for the app with which you’re trying to use it.
  • Restart your phone. If you’ve tried everything else, try rebooting your phone. That usually fixes many common issues.
  • Repair your phone. If your phone’s microphone continues not to work, you may need to have it repaired or replaced.
