Solution: Take out the protective film from the screen. If you are facing the microphone issue with only a specific app, check whether it has the permission to use the microphone. For that, you would have to go to Settings> Privacy> Microphone.
You can also try using your phone without the case. If it doesn’t help, you can go to Settings>General >Accessibility and then turn off the Phone Noise Cancellation. If this still doesn’t help, then contact Apple customer service.
