Hello, everyone. My Note 20 Ultra have been having an issue with OK google. It does not pick up my voice. Also I am unable to send voice notes on whatapp as it does not record. I also cannot use whatapps for calls or video chat as I can hear the other person but they can't hear me unless I use head phones. I can use regular phone no problem. I can record video and have sound recorded. 

 
Any help?

Hello, Welcome to the Community. We understand how frustrating it is when you are unable to access the Google Assistant or Whatsapp features.

Have you tried clearing the app cache? https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00077611/

Also check that the apps have permissions allowed for the microphone. Settings>Security and privacy>Privacy>Permission manager

You can also uninstall and then reinstall the apps.

We also recommend clearing the cache partition and repairing apps in the recovery menu.

To get to recovery mode:
- Turn off phone
- Once off, hold down volume up and power buttons simultaneously
- When Samsung logo appears, release power button BUT KEEP HOLDING VOLUME UP until the recovery menu appears
- Use volume buttons to navigate down to clear cache (NOT CLEAR DATA/ FACTORY RESET)
- Use power button to select.
- Run the repair apps option and your device will restart.

Please let us know if this helps.

Check the app permissions and make sure they are granted or this can happen
