Mic not turning on?

iPhone / Safari

Your phone microphone may work normally for calls and WhatsApp, but Safari still needs permission to use it. Use Safari. Tap the address bar settings or aA, open Website Settings, then allow Microphone. Then refresh SpanishBuddy.

Android / Chrome / Honor

Your phone microphone may work normally for calls and WhatsApp, but Chrome still needs permission to use it. Tap the padlock near the website address, open Permissions, then allow Microphone. If needed, open Chrome Settings, Site settings, Microphone.

Check that your browser app is allowed to use the microphone, then check that SpanishBuddy.co.uk is allowed inside that browser.
If the dropdown shows more than one microphone, try each option. Some phones list Bluetooth, headset or built-in mic separately.

Do not open the mic test inside Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp or another app preview. Open SpanishBuddy directly in Safari or Chrome on the real secure website.
