The version release candidate iOS 16.4 continues to give us strange news that we will appreciate every day. After finding traces of new AirPods, the developers discovered that voice isolation feature will become available for phone calls.
This function was present since iOS 15 on all compatible iPhones, but only in FaceTime calls and in those of certain other third-party applications as 9to5Mac points out. That they now extend to conventional calls should be noticed by the general public as a whole.
iOS 16.4 will improve the sound of all our calls
What this voice isolation does is take advantage of the iPhone’s microphones to cancel out the ambient sound around us on a call, to focus on our voice and amplify it. In this way, our interlocutor will hear us better even when we are in a noisy environment.
We can activate this voice isolation from the Control Center, with a button that will appear during a call to change the microphone mode. At the moment it is only available to those of you who have installed the release candidate since iOS 16.4, but it won’t take long to see it released worldwide
Of course, the voices of other call participants won’t be heard any better if they don’t have an iPhone, or have one but haven’t updated to iOS 16.4. This is something we will notice over time and as devices update automatically.
