I was walking in front of a work and a pylon hammer making his assembly of a rumble which would have prevented me from listening to anyone who was more than a centimeter of my ear. I was on appeal with a friend and, on the other hand, he did it I could clearly listen to my noise without noise. “If a slight buzz, but very in the background,” told me when I told him about work.
It also happens to me in places of Grand Jaleo in which dozens of voices of the crowd overlap. This is not my merit, but An iOS adjustment that improves vocal quality When we make a call, send an audio message or save a voice note.
How to improve the quality of iPhone calls
A few years ago, by the hand of iOS 15, the possibility of isolate our voice from the external noise In order to even a pylon hammer cannot prevent the other person from listening to us. If we unite the use of a pair of headphones with noise cancellation, we will have a perfect call.
This option may not be activated by default and It is activated manually when you are on appeal If you follow these steps:
- Open the command center, sliding the upper right corner of the screen down.
- Look at the option that appears above, in which he puts the “phone” and click on it.
- In the new menu that opens, make sure that the “voice isolation” option is activated.
Once you have done this, the system will be able to isolate your voice from the background and your interlocutors can listen to you better. Of course, keep in mind that the elimination of background noise It can also have drawbacks In specific moments.
And example From the last one, it happened to me recently when I wanted to start the call to a friend reproducing his favorite song and that he played through the speakers of my Mac. I had put the isolation of the voice and that prevented him from listening to it. Therefore, it is practical to know what other options do.
What differences are between iPhone audio modes
You will have observed that more options appear in the vocal insulation menu. This is how they work:
- Automatic: The system is capable of increasing or reducing vocal insulation depending on whether the background noise really prevents you from having a clear and clear voice. In cases such as the example mentioned above, in which we want to capture the background sound, it will allow us to do so.
- Standard: It is the life system, which mainly captures your voice, although it will not isolate your voice in case of background noise. This may be the least recommended option.
- Vocal isolation: We have already explained it previously, but it should be emphasized who isolates your voice in all circumstances so that there is no background noise and that, if it sneaks, it is minimal.
- His probe: With this mode, there is an absolute priority to be issued by the microphone which seems in the background. A practical example of use is that you are in a concert, make a video call to a friend and that you want to listen to what plays there. It should be said that this option is not available on normal phone calls.
How to activate these modes in all applications and circumstances
Vocal isolation functions (and all others) are available both in calls and in video calls of all kinds, which implies that they will also work if we make them through FaceTime, Whatsapp, Zoom and others. As standard, you must activate them at least once in everyone to stay like the default options, but there is a way to be configured by default in all.
- Open Parameters.
- And a Accessibility.
- Enter the section Audio and visual effects.
- Select the “Voice isolation” option.
It should be noted that Also in some AirPods Isolation functions are available. More specifically in AirPods 4 with noise cancellation, AirPods Pro 1 and AirPods Pro 2.
Vocal isolation on other Apple devices
Not only the iPhone has these noise cancellation terms for calls and video calls. It is also Available on iPad and Mac depending on identical steps (from the control center) and with identical operation.
Just as it was integrated into iOS 15, because it was added in iPados 15 and MacOS 12 Monterey, so You will be necessary that you do them up to date to this version or later.
