To activate the microphone on WhatsApp for your iPhone, follow these detailed steps:

  1. Ensure Microphone Permissions:

    • Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
    • Scroll down and tap on 'WhatsApp'.
    • Ensure that the toggle next to 'Microphone' is turned on. If it’s off, toggle it to the 'On' position. This grants WhatsApp permission to access your microphone.

    • Make sure that WhatsApp is listed under 'Allow Microphone Access' with a toggle set to 'On'.

    • If you have multiple chats, select the one where you need to use the microphone for voice messages or calls.

  4. Recording a Voice Message:

    • In your chat, tap on the 'Microphone' icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen (next to the text input field).
    • When prompted, allow WhatsApp to access your microphone if you haven’t already done so.
    • Start speaking into your iPhone’s microphone. As you speak, a waveform will appear on the screen, indicating that your voice is being recorded.
    • Once finished, release the 'Microphone' icon or tap on the 'Send' arrow to send your voice message.

  5. Using Microphone for Calls:

    • To make a WhatsApp call, open the chat with the contact you wish to call.
    • Tap on the phone icon at the top right corner of the screen (next to the contact’s name or photo).
    • The call will connect, and your microphone will be active for voice communication. Ensure that your iPhone is held close to your mouth for clear audio quality.

By following these steps, you can effectively turn on and use the microphone feature in WhatsApp on your iPhone for both voice messages and calls.
