Voice isolation is a feature that has been ingrained since iOS/iPadOS 15 and macOS Monterey. It works with FaceTime, WhatsApp or Signal, among others.

FaceTime has a hidden feature that many users will not be aware of. The feature is well hidden and you probably do not immediately think of taking a look around. We ourselves have only recently found out that several video chat apps support this hidden feature. It may be a bit further away, but it will come in very handy, that’s how Voice Isolation works.
Audio settings for FaceTime and others
Since iOS 15, it is finally possible for users to get started with audio settings in iOS, macOS and iPadOS for various video chat apps. This workshop not only works for FaceTime, but can also be used in Zoom, Slack, Snapchat, WhatsAppInstagram & Signal† TikTok, for example, does not support the feature (yet?).
Important: To activate this feature you need an iPhone or iPad with iOS/iPadOS 15 and/or a Mac with macOS Monterey.

How exactly do you get started? The audio settings only appear if you are already in a video chat. So if you want all background noise to be filtered out during your FaceTime call or WhatsApp video chat, you should choose Voice Isolation.
On an iPhone or iPad:
- Start your video chat
- Open the control panel
- You should now see “Standard mode” at the top right, tap this
- You now get the choice between three options: choose here voice isolation
On a Mac:

Passing ambient noise
Is it important for your video chat that background noises can be heard? Then you can follow the same steps as in step 2 open the control panel and then choose from the three options for Breed Spectrum.
What else is possible?
What else can you adjust? Did you know that you can make the audio and video controls disappear during a FaceTime or WhatsApp conversation. You do that by tapping once. Do you want to turn off the sound completely? Then tap the sound icon, the same goes for your own microphone.
