Audio problem on iPhone

James33hodg — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 07:31:46 GMT

Hi there. I’m having sound problems on my iPhone 16 plus. So when I try to record a video on snap chat or tik tok or a video call on what’s app, the sound is all distorted and fuzzy. But if I do a video call on FaceTime or record a video on my normal camera option, the sound is fine. It just seems to be on my apps!? I’ve tried restarting the phone, updating apps, checking the mic settings on the apps, checked that the haptics are turned on. But nothing is working! Please help

Morning @James33hodg

Thanks for coming to the community.

If the troubleshooting you've done already has not fixed this for you, have you tried backing up all data and factory resetting the iPhone?

Full steps for backing up and resetting the iPhone, can be found in the How to factory reset your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support (UK) page.

Let me know how you get on 🙂

Leanne.
