3. Select Privacy > Permission manager (or App permissions on some phones).
4. Tap on Microphone.
5. You will see a list of apps with their microphone access permission status. Choose the app you want to enable the microphone for.
6. Select Allow only while using the app (or tap the toggle next to the app if available).

2. Through the Quick Settings panel:

1. Swipe down twice from the top of your screen to fully expand the Quick Settings panel.
2. Look for the Microphone icon.

Additional tips:

• If you're unsure whether an app has microphone access, you can check the app's information page in the Google Play Store.
• You can also manage microphone permissions for websites in your web browser. The steps for this will vary depending on the browser you're using.

It's important to be aware of which apps have access to your microphone and to only grant permission to apps that you trust.
