This is where software and firmware updates come in handy.
Apple has acknowledged that some Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra users may experience microphone issues, including when trying to use Siri, make a phone call, and more.
A number of users have reported issues wherein the smartwatch microphone can become persistently unresponsive after some time, causing apps that rely on the mic to return errors or stop working entirely.
Via a leaked memo, Apple has stated that it’s aware of the bug, specifically saying customers could face problems with Siri not being able to hear them, recording voice memos, and conducting phone calls. A “Measurement Suspended” message may also appear in the Noise app.
Apple has suggested that restarting the Apple Watch could temporarily fix the issue, and has suggested that the problem is not related to the hardware. The memo also indicated that customers should remain updated to the latest watchOS version, indicating a fix could soon be released.
