According to Apple, Voice Isolation changes the behavior of the iPhone’s microphone to detect the user’s voice and only send it over the call, significantly reducing noise from other ambient sounds. The new option has been available on FaceTime since iOS 15, but now it’s finally here for voice calls.
To activate Voice Isolation on phone calls, just follow the instructions:
- Call any number from the Phone app;
- With the call connected, swipe from the top right corner to open Control Center;
- Tap Microphone Mode;
- Choose the Voice Isolation option as in the image above.
Once this is done, Voice Isolation mode will always remain active when making calls using the Phone app. To switch to standard mode just follow the same instructions again.
It is worth noting that the Wide Spectrum option is not yet available for voice calls, but it uses the microphones to capture the sound all around, which can be useful for recording podcasts or talking on the speakerphone, for example.
Although several Apple devices have already received iOS 16.4, only the following models are listed by the manufacturer as compatible with Voice Isolation:
