The iPhone is one of the world’s most popular smartphones, and its versatility is one of the main reasons for its success. While most people know how to use its basic features, such as making calls and taking photos, many are unaware of some of the more advanced functions available on the device. One such feature is the ability to turn on the microphone on your iPhone.

If you need to record audio from your iPhone or simply want to improve sound quality when making calls or playing music, then enabling your phone’s microphone can be a great way to do so. Fortunately, it’s quite simple to do!

First, open up Settings and select Privacy. Then tap Microphone and make sure that it is enabled (it shoud be green). You will also see which apps have requested permission to access your microphone; if you don’t feel comfortable granting an app access to your microphone then you can always switch off this option.

Once you have made sure that the Microphone setting is enabled, head over to Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of your screen. Tap and hold down on any icon until all icons expand outwards. From here you’ll see a symbol that loks like a speaker with sound waves coming out – this is the microphone icon. Tap it once to turn it on (it should turn blue) and then again when you wish to turn it off.

So there you have it: turning on your iPhone’s microphone is really quite simple! Once enabled, this feature can be extremely useful for recording audio or improving sound quality in various settings; as long as you remember to turn it off afterwards!
