I was stuck on this issue – and this helped my find the problem. My iPhone was set to “not allow changes,” and I had completely forgotten about that feature. Allowed changes, made the change, and then switched back to no changes. Just that easy!
I just restarted my iphine xs max and whatsapp microphone is back. Also i noticed that iohine dialler was missing contacts earlier and reboot also fixed it.
