You are welcome.


What to Try:


  • Reinstall the App:: Remove Viber, and then Add it back


  • Perform a new iCloud Session: Log out of iCloud, then log back in. Perhaps it all needs to resync.

Thank you both for your response but I cannot access microphone still for any of my apps. I did not install any security extra and the steps on the site given simply do not function as there is no icon whatsoever for microphone. I notice that not only my microphone is affected but “contacts” and “photos” too... most of what it is under “privacy” is affected as it was automatically deleted... please help I need to talk to my husband and my child that are currently living outside the country and this is our only way of communication...

Uninstall Security Software:

Any Security Software installed? If so, uninstall it. It just gets in the way on Apple devices, and this would be a pure example as to how and why.
