Tech Tip Tuesday: How to enable voice isolation while on a phone call in iOS 16.4

Wouldn't it be nice while on a call on your iPhone if you could muffle all the background noise so you come through more clearly? Join us today in this week's Tech Tip Tuesday to find out how.

Starting in iOS 15, Apple introduced a new feature called voice isolation. It made it first available for Facetime calls only. This feature, when enabled, muffles all background noise and makes your voice the centre of attention.

Starting with iOS 16.4, which was just released, voice isolation is now available for phone calls too. Today I'm going to show you how to enable it while on a call.

  • First, swipe up from the bottom right or down from top the right (depending on the iPhone you have) to bring up the Command Center.
  • Next tap the button in the top right (which by default will say Mic Mode Standard).

That's it! If you are in a noisy environment, hopefully, you are now easier to understand.

Every bit of information I provide for people I do so with the lowest common denominator in mind. It's a common misconception that everyone who joins or browses a tech site is a techie. Some people are just looking for guidance. That is why for some, these tech tips may seem a bit too simplistic but they are educational for others.
