User level: Level 1 (4 points)Hello, I suddenly studied having problems with my microphone on WhatsApp. I’m getting a message to give the microphone permission however, when click the settings to give access, the microphone is not appearing as an option for WhatsApp. Is there a way to solve this?

You can also look in Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone > make sure the switch is turned on for WhatsApp there.

Hi, try deleting the app, restarting your iPhone and then download and install a fresh copy of WhatsApp. Once installed, restart your device again and look in Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > check for access to microphone
