The microphone on some Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch units are not working although Apple hints at an upcoming software fix.
An internal Apple memo obtained byindicates that the tech giant is aware of a bug that has been affecting users of the Apple Watch Series 8 and the Apple Watch Ultra. Because this bug affects the microphone, the memo mentions that users might not be able to get Siri to hear them, and recording voice memos could also be problematic. Phone calls are also an issue since whatever the Apple Watch user says won't be heard by the party on the other end of the call.
Any app that relies on the watch's microphone is likely not to work and the"Noise" app will show a message that says,"Measurement Suspended. The Noise app cannot check sound levels when Apple Watch is in Water Lock or while the microphone or speaker is in use." Apple says that the issue is not hardware related and that it can be temporarily fixed by restarting the timepiece.
