Can you hear me now? Hidden but ingenious iPhone hack lets you tune out surrounding noise so your voice is heard during calls
Most people have felt the pain of having a phone conversation while walking down a busy street.
Apple has solved the problem with a feature that blocks out ambient noise, so that the recipient only hears your voice during a call.
During your call, swipe down from the top right corner of your screen to open the Control Center.
At the top right, select microphone mode and press Voice Isolation, which prioritizes your voice and blocks out ambient sounds.

Mic Mode was released in 2021 with Apple’s iOS 15, but is only accessible with iPhone XR, iPhone XS models, and later iPhones running iOS 16.4 or later.
The feature is available for FaceTime, which also offers Wide Spectrum that amplifies the sounds around you without affecting your voice, but this reduces the quality and clarity of agents.
By default, mobile calls on an iPhone use the default microphone mode, with all background noise and voices passed to the recipient.
Users will have to go back to standard to access that kind of sound quality.
Voice Isolation is also available for iPads with iPadOS 15 or later and Macs with macOS Monterey or later.

Apple will roll out its new iOS 17 in September, packed with new features.
Many users have complained that their words are automatically corrected incorrectly, but the new system adds a new language model with a more accessible shortcut to go back to the original word if the system gets it wrong.
And now dictation also uses a new AI-powered model.
Apple also makes a small but powerful change to Siri in the new iOS 17: users can drop “Hey” and just say “Siri” to activate the virtual assistant.
The change is a sought-after feature by iOS fans, and it seems Apple has finally listened to their demand.
The tech giant has announced a new feature in iOS 17 called Check In.
With this tool, you can notify family members or friends when you have arrived safely at your destination.
And another feature will change the way iOS users end calls.
While the end call button is currently in the center of the bottom of the screen, beta testers have revealed that this will change.
After the update, the End call button will move to the bottom right corner of the screen.
iMessage apps are stored in one place, usually above the SMS area.
Tap the new plus button to see everything you send most, such as photos, audio messages, and your location. Swipe up to see the rest of your iMessage apps.
