What Does Voice Isolation Do?
Voice Isolation is a new mode on iOS 15 which aims to separate your voice from any background noises occurring during FaceTime calls. It helps your voice remain in focus throughout the call, silencing any ambient noises around you. It achieves this through advanced machine learning, so your iPhone can distinguish your voice and background noise. The focus is on your voice and not your surroundings, which is helpful in a noisy place. Effectively, it’s a form of personalized noise cancellation for the recipient of your call.
