WhatsApp Microphone Not Working During Video Calls
This post will outline the solutions you can do about the WhatsApp microphone not working during video calls, as reported by some users. Such a problem can be due to a pretty minor issue with the app or the firmware, or it can also be a sign or a more serious hardware-related issue.
If it’s just an app-related problem, then you will be able to fix it by troubleshooting WhatsApp itself. However, if it’s an issue caused by a firmware problem, then you may need to do a couple of procedures that can impact your phone’s settings and performance in a good way. But if for some reason, the problem is with the hardware, specifically the microphone, then you will need to have the device checked.
In this troubleshooting guide, we will consider every possibility and rule them out one after another. So if you have this problem, continue reading as we may be able to help.
WhatsApp Microphone Not Working
However, if the WhatsApp microphone is still not working after doing these solutions, or if the microphone itself is the problem, then you can always do the factory reset, at least, before you send the device to a tech. If the microphone doesn’t work due to a serious firmware issue, a reset will still be able to fix it.
But before you reset your phone, make sure to create a copy of your important files and data as they will be deleted. When ready, follow these steps to reset your Android:
- Swipe down from the top of the screen and then tap the Settings icon.
- Find and tap General management.
- Touch Reset.
- Tap Factory data reset.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap Reset.
- If prompted, enter your PIN, Password or Pattern.
- Finally, tap Delete all.
After the reset, set up your phone as a new device and see if the microphone is now working.
