Have you ever been on a call where background noise makes it hard for the other person to hear you? Whether you’re in a noisy coffee shop, dog is barking,baby is crying, walking down a busy street, or working from home and everyone is noisy
, Apple’s Voice Isolation feature can help you sound crystal clear.
Voice Isolation is available on iPhones and iPads running iOS 15 or later and works for phone calls, FaceTime, and other supported apps like WhatsApp and Zoom. This feature enhances your voice while minimizing background noise, making conversations smoother and more professional.
How to Enable Voice Isolation on iPhone or iPad
Turning on Voice Isolation is easy, but the option only appears during a call or video chat. Follow these steps:
For Phone Calls or FaceTime
1. Start a call using the Phone app or FaceTime.
2. Swipe down from the top-right corner (on Face ID devices) or swipe up from the bottom (on Touch ID devices) to open the Control Center.
3. Tap on Mic Mode (a small button in the top-right corner).
4. Select Voice Isolation from the available options.
5. Close the Control Center and continue your call with improved clarity.
For Third-Party Apps (WhatsApp, Zoom, etc.)
Most apps that support Apple’s Mic Mode will have this option:
1. Start a voice or video call in the app.
2. Open the Control Center while on the call.
3. Tap Mic Mode and choose Voice Isolation.
4. Exit the Control Center and enjoy clearer audio.
What’s the Difference Between Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum?
• Voice Isolation: Suppresses background noise and enhances your voice.

• Improves audio quality for podcasts, interviews, and live streams.
• Makes virtual meetings and FaceTime chats clearer.
