If you can’t be heard during a WhatsApp call, your iPhone’s microphone may not function correctly.
No matter where they are in the world, WhatsApp users may conduct free audio and video conversations as well as send free text messages to anyone.
While WhatsApp Calls typically operate without a hitch, it is not unusual for the app to malfunction on an iPhone due to network-related issues, improper Settings, and other factors.

CLOSE OTHER APPS USING A MICROPHONE
Are there any installed apps that are quietly utilising a microphone? When the phone microphone is active, a visual indicator appears in the top-right corner of both iOS and Android devices. To check if the microphone is on, look in the top-right corner. Before making a WhatsApp call, these background apps need to be closed.
Disable Noice Cancellation
The functionality of the microphone may be impacted by the noise cancellation feature. This is more likely if you are chatting while lying on a couch or bed and using the iPhone in speaker mode.
Turn off Noise Cancellation by going to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual.
TURN OFF OTHER BLUETOOTH APPLIANCES
WhatsApp will continue to use the linked device’s microphone for voice and video calls if you’ve attached wireless earbuds or headphones to your phone. TWS immediately disengage from the phone when placed in the case. However, occasionally it performs poorly and continues to connect to your phone.
To disconnect such devices, swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPhone to reveal Control Center and tap the Bluetooth toggle. Keep in mind that this will only turn off Bluetooth on your iPhone for 24 hours.
