How to Enable and Use Voice Isolation on an iPhone
Voice Isolation ensures crystal-clear calls by blocking background noise—essential for productive conversations anywhere.
Ever been on a call where it feels like the background noise is having its own conversation? Whether it’s traffic sounds, people chatting around you, or even the hum of a ceiling fan, background noise can make phone calls frustrating—for both you and the person on the other end.
That’s where Voice Isolation on your iPhone could be beneficial. It’s a smart audio feature that uses machine learning to focus on your voice and block out everything else. So, instead of your caller hearing barking dogs or noisy cafes, they hear you—loud, clear, and distraction-free.
Originally introduced in iOS 15 for FaceTime, Voice Isolation is now available for regular cellular and VoIP calls too (like WhatsApp or Zoom), as long as you're using a supported device. It’s like putting a noise-cancelling mic in your pocket.
Here’s how to enable and use Voice Isolation to make your iPhone calls sound a whole lot better.
