iOS 15: How to Use Voice Isolation to Block Background Noise in FaceTime

Did you know that Apple has added several exciting new features for FaceTime? Now, more and more users think that this newly-overhauled video conferencing platform is more viable than other video conferencing apps.  

What Is Voice Isolation?

One of its newest features include Voice Isolation which can be used with other third-party apps that include WhatsApp and Teams to make your voice louder and clearer on a video call.

How Does the Voice Isolation Feature Work?

In most cases, your iPhone’s mic picks up different kinds of sounds in the background whenever you’re in a call. However, with Voice Isolation, its machine learning technology enables it to distinguish a wide array of sounds and blocks out ambient noises. Moreover, it prioritizes your voice by making sure that it comes through clearly, making it easier for people to hear your voice.  

What Is Wide Spectrum?

In some cases, some users may still want a wide range of sounds to come through while they’re having a video call. If you’re one of them, you may want to check out another new feature called Wide Spectrum. This allows your device to pick up your voice and the sounds around you to make up an entire symphony of sound.  

Similar to Voice Isolation, this feature can also be used with various video calling apps on a device. If you want to enable Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum when you’re on a video call on your iPhone or iPad, simply follow these steps:  

• Make sure that your device is running iOS 15 or iPadOS 15.
• Next, initiate FaceTime video call. You may also choose to use any third-party app that comes with a video calling function.
• Once you’re in the video call, find the Control Center by pulling it down and dragging it diagonally coming from your screen’s top-right corner.  
• Locate the Mic Mode button at the top, then tap it.
• Choose between Standard, Voice Isolation, and Wide Spectrum.
• Activate your chosen microphone mode or turn it off by accessing the Control Center again before selecting Standard.
