Provides users with the opportunity not only to call friends, but also to record and send voice messages. It is convenient to use this function when it is not possible to type messages - for example, while driving a car.
However, voice recording has a disadvantage - the user may accidentally press the record button, and without any confirmation prompts, the voice message will be sent. Unfortunately, WhatsApp doesn't allow you to remove the record button, but there is a workaround.
If you don't use the voice recording feature often, you can disable the application's access to the microphone - then the recording option will not work. We will tell you how to disable recording voice messages in WhatsApp on iPhone.
Step 1: Launch the Settings menu on your iPhone.
Step 2: Scroll down the screen and select Privacy.
Step 3: Select Microphone.
Step 4: A list of applications that have requested access to your device's microphone will appear on the screen. Find the WhatsApp switch in the list and deactivate it.
WhatsApp is a very popular messenger that has gained popularity among users for its simplicity and user-friendly interface. And after the application added the ability to make audio and video calls, new users poured in. But, as they say, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. With the introduction of new functions, problems began to appear. One of the most popular queries on Google: why might the microphone not work in WhatsApp? Let's try to resolve this issue.
In fact, it turns out that problems may lie both in the mobile device itself and in other applications that conflict with WhatsApp. The most common of them:
Let's look at each option in detail.
First, you should check the functionality of the microphone on your device. To do this, you can simply call any number that you have in “Contacts” and ask whether the other person can hear you or not. Accordingly, if there is no response, then you need to contact the service center and check the microphone for defects.
Sometimes the microphone in WhatsApp stops responding if the latest version of the program is not installed on your mobile device. To fix this problem, you just need to uninstall the old version and download the new one.
Or update an existing option.
But this method does not help everyone: for some, the microphone did not work even after updating WhatsApp. In this situation, you need to act more radically and update the system version on your device. On Android this is done as follows:
4. "Check for updates"
On IOS everything is similar: Menu “Settings” - “General” - “Software Update” - “Download and Install”.
Before doing this, be sure to make sure that the device is connected to charging and has access to the Internet.
Method 3: Conflict with third-party programsI couldn’t hear many of my friends in the WhatsApp application for one simple reason - their microphone conflicted with Yandex.Navigator. The fix is very simple: you need to go to Yandex.Navigator, open the settings menu and in the sound settings uncheck the “Voice activation” item. After this, you can check the operation of the microphone in WhatsApp.
If you use WhatsApp, you've probably noticed how simple and convenient this program is. There are practically no difficulties with the messenger. True, sometimes some problems with WhatsApp can still arise. But don’t be discouraged, it’s easy to solve them, just take 2-3 minutes and everything will be OK!
Are you not receiving notifications? Immediately check your Internet settings - suddenly you do not have a connection to the global network. If difficulties remain, then you need to make sure that everything is correct with the settings.
In a group chat, it is possible to turn off notifications - in the group settings tab " Do not disturb" Make sure there is no check mark there. If everything is in order, then the problems lie in the general settings:
If the program is not updated, you must first check your Internet connection, as in the situation with notifications. Another reason may be the lack of free space. Then you need:
If there is not enough free memory, you will not be able to accept files from other users. Therefore, space needs to be freed up. A little higher we already mentioned unnecessary files on a smartphone.
And one more thing: you can always create a backup copy on a memory card. That is, you copy all the data from the WhatsApp folder to the media. Then you can safely delete all files in the original folder. It is better to do this using a PC or laptop.
Remember that you can always leave your question here. Knowledgeable people will be happy to help solve the problem!
After WhatsApp introduced the voice calling feature, it became quite popular among users. To activate it, you only need a network connection and a working offer. To call a contact, you will need to select it from the list and press the handset icon. But some people complain that the microphone does not work in WhatsApp, which is why they cannot fully use the application.
If a similar situation occurs, then first of all you should check whether sound recording works with other applications. For example, on the built-in voice recorder. If everything is in order, we look for the problem in the messenger.
If the microphone does not work in other applications, then the error is related to the software or software of the device. It will be quite difficult to diagnose and fix it yourself, so it is better to contact a service center.
Among the options for the error to occur, it should be noted that the microphone may be occupied by another application. For example, some users noticed that the headset stopped working in WhatsApp when using Yandex.Navigator. You can correct the situation in the application settings.
You need to go to the navigator and open its parameters. Here the checkbox for standby voice activation mode is unchecked. After this, you should try to log into the messenger again and check the microphone’s operation. Everything is done similarly with other applications. 
If this action does not occur, then the cause of the error may lie in an incorrect WhatsApp update. In this case, it is recommended to uninstall the program and download its new version from the official website or from a special store. Next, enter your account information and check to see if the problem has gone away.
There are many reasons why the microphone does not work in WhatsApp. Only correct diagnosis will help solve the problem. Often you can fix the error yourself, and then continue enjoying free voice calls in the messenger.
