WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out a new feature for iPhone users that will allow them to switch Apple's built-in microphone modes directly during voice and video calls, making it easier to manage 's default microphone processing without additional filtering.

Automatic Mic Mode

Introduced with iOS 18, Automatic Mic Mode intelligently selects the most suitable microphone setting based on your surroundings.

Supported iPhone Models

According to reports:

• Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum require iOS 15 or later.

• They are supported on iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and newer models.

• Automatic Mic Mode requires iOS 18 or later.

Availability may vary depending on your device and software version.

How It Differs from Android

The new shortcut highlights a different approach for iPhone users.

While WhatsApp recently introduced its own built-in noise cancellation feature for Android devices, the iPhone version continues to rely on Apple's native microphone processing.

The new update simply makes these controls easier to access during calls.

When Will You Get the Feature?

Like most WhatsApp updates, the Mic Mode shortcut is being released in phases.

If the feature does not appear on your iPhone yet:

• Update WhatsApp to the latest version from the App Store.

• Keep your iPhone updated to the latest compatible version of iOS.

• Wait for the phased rollout to reach your account.

WhatsApp typically enables new features gradually over several weeks.

Disclaimer: This feature has been reported as part of a phased rollout. Availability may differ depending on your WhatsApp version, iPhone model, iOS version, and region.
