IPhone 7 microphone not working on iOS 11.3?

My microphone has been very "moody" lately, and it only decides to work when it wants to. Problems started to occur probably about 1-2 months ago, and I noticed them when phone calls were not going through. I'm unable to hear callers and the callers are unable to hear me. Also, calls and FaceTime calls just tend to drop and are unable to connect. More problems began to occur whenever trying to take videos with the camera app or with Snapchat. Videos are unable to begin recording, and when they do, there's no sound at all. I tried testing my microphone in voice memos, but voice recordings won't even begin recording. The record button senses my touch, but the recording itself stays at 00:00 and does not begin to record. I've tried factory resetting, hard resetting, etc. To try fixing this problem, but it only seems to be a temporary fix. Whenever I do these things, my microphone starts working again, but only for a few minutes before it starts to have these problems again. I hope this is only a bug and will be fixed in the next few updates and that it isn't a problem that will require me to replace my phone.

Try blowing out the tiny microphone holes on bottom of phone and top of phone or you get can of air to blow them out, cause dust or lint can cause the person you called to not hear you and you not hear them n other audio issues

  • Why is my iPhone 5's microphone not working in Snapchat? It records my voice, but it sounds a bit choppy. Every second or two, the sound will cut out and it just doesn't sound right! Sorry if this is a vague question, but I don't know how else to describe it.

  • Volume control and microphone not working on iphone? I have an iphone 4 & my volume control and microphone is useless on my iphone, it works fine on my ipad but only the music works on my iphone. Is it something wrong with my headphones or is it just that after the major updates iphone doesn't recognize it anymore?
  • My iPhone microphone is not working A week ago my iPhone 4 microphone stoped to work. It just stoped, did not lose it in the ground or something, just stoped to work. When I call someone or if someone call me, they can't here me, but I can here them. But If I turn on speaker, they hear me normally. Do you have any thoughts on how I can fix this?
