Apple has acknowledged that some Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra users may be experiencing microphone issues, and this includes trying to use Siri, making calls and more. Users have reported issues with their Apple Watch microphone becoming persistently unresponsive after a period of time, which has caused apps that rely on the microphone to bug out and stop working altogether.
In a new memo obtained by MacRumors, Apple into it is aware of this bug affecting users, specifically saying that customers may face problems with Siri not being able to hear them, record voice memos and make phone calls, among other things. The “measurement pause” message may also appear in the Noise app.
Apple said that restarting the Apple Watch may temporarily resolve the issue and implied that the problem was not hardware related. Apple noted in the memo that customers should keep updated to the latest version of watchOS, suggesting that a fix may be released soon.
