Are you tired of hearing every sound around the other person on your Facetime call? Luckily, with iOS 15, muting them is as easy as a flick of your finger.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to silence the background noise and focus on the conversation. Accessing the Facetime call controls is your first step in taking charge of the audio. Once you’ve located the mute button, simply toggle the option to silence the other person’s audio.
It’s important to verify that their sound is indeed muted before continuing your conversation undisturbed. And if you ever need to unmute them, we’ll cover that too.
Let’s get started on muting the other person on Facetime in iOS 15!
Accessing the Facetime Call Controls
To access the Facetime call controls, you need to tap on the screen during an active call. This will bring up the call controls overlay on your screen, giving you access to various settings and options.
One of the key features you can adjust is the Facetime call settings. By tapping on the settings icon, you can customize your call experience by adjusting settings such as video quality, noise cancellation, and more.
Additionally, if you want to enable speakerphone during Facetime calls, simply tap on the speaker icon on the call controls overlay. This will route the audio through the speakerphone instead of the earpiece, allowing for hands-free conversations.
Locating the Mute Button
To locate the mute button on Facetime, simply swipe up on the call controls overlay. Once you’re on the call screen, you’ll see a row of buttons at the bottom. Look for the microphone icon, which represents the mute button. It’s usually located on the left side of the screen.
Tap on the microphone icon to mute the call. When the button turns red and has a line through it, it means that you have successfully muted the call. This is useful when you want to temporarily silence your microphone and prevent the other person from hearing any background noise or distractions.
Remember to unmute the call when you want to start speaking again.
Toggling the Mute Option
To toggle the mute option, simply tap on the microphone icon on the call screen. This icon is located at the bottom left corner of the screen during a FaceTime call. By tapping on it, you can mute or unmute yourself during the call.
Alternatively, if you prefer to use voice commands, you can say ‘mute’ or ‘unmute’ to activate or deactivate the mute option. This can be particularly useful when your hands are occupied or if you’re in a situation where you can’t easily access the screen.
If you’re experiencing issues with muting during FaceTime calls, make sure that your device’s microphone isn’t covered or blocked. Additionally, check your device’s settings to ensure that the microphone is enabled for FaceTime.
Verifying the Other Person’s Audio Is Muted
Check if the other person’s audio is muted. Troubleshooting common audio issues on FaceTime calls is essential to ensure smooth communication.
To verify if the other person’s audio is muted, look for the microphone icon on their screen. If the icon has a line through it, it means their audio is muted.
Additionally, you can ask the person if they’ve intentionally muted their audio. If they’re unable to hear you or you can’t hear them, it could be due to a technical issue or a problem with their device’s microphone.
In such cases, exploring alternative communication options for muting participants in group FaceTime calls might be necessary, such as using the chat feature or switching to a different communication platform temporarily.
Unmuting the Other Person
You can unmute the other person by tapping on their microphone icon. When you’re in a FaceTime call and want to allow the other person to speak, simply locate their video feed and find the microphone icon. Tap on it to unmute them and allow their audio to be heard.
This is useful if you’re in a group call or if you have accidentally muted the other person. Additionally, if you’re experiencing audio issues and can’t hear the other person, make sure to check if their microphone is muted. If it is, you can unmute them by following the same steps.
