WhatsApp It is one of the apps that has the most work behind it, but it works on hundreds of different mobile phones and devices, so it is logical that, from time to time, some important bug appears. One of the most disconcerting is that turn off the microphone in the middle of a callso you can’t speak. For now there is no solution, although we know what causes it, so it can be avoided.

This WhatsApp bug that leaves you speechless in the middle of a call has been active for quite some time. But for some reason WhatsApp hasn’t fixed it. It happens on all brands of Android phones, none of them are spared. It has nothing to do with the hardware, but with the operating system or the WhatsApp app.

According to this OnePlus thread, the failure has also occurred on phones from Google, Motorola, Sony and Samsung, among others.

The WhatsApp bug that silences the microphone

It is quite annoying because, when you are left without a microphone on the call, you cannot tell the other person what is happening to you, and there is no choice but to hang up.

Users have tried different methods, including uninstalling the WhatsApp app and reinstalling it, but it still happens.

Luckily, It has been detected what causes the microphone to be deactivated. If, in the middle of a call, you switch to another app to multitask, or the screen goes to sleep mode, that’s what disables the microphone.

It doesn’t always happen, it’s a rare bug, maybe that’s why many people don’t know about it. But, if it happens to you, you know what you have to do: don’t change apps in the middle of the call, or let the screen turn off.

If you still experience a WhatsApp failure, there is no way to recover the microphone except by hanging up the call. When you call again, it is activated again.

The best you can do is Report the failure to WhatsApp technical service. Only if enough people complain will they get around to solving it.

The failure of the microphone that turns off in the middle of the WhatsApp call has been active for some timeas tracked by Tech-Issues Today. Remember, avoid multitasking during a call, and make sure the screen does not turn off to avoid this.
