How Do You Get Wide Spectrum for FaceTime?
Wide Spectrum is available on iOS 15. It enhances all the background noise around you so your friends, family, or colleagues can hear things with better quality. Here’s how to enable it.
What Is Wide Spectrum iOS 15?
Wide Spectrum mode brings in and enhances background noises around you. If you’re using FaceTime with a group of coworkers or family members, this is the mode to use. Much like Voice Isolation mode, it does this through machine learning, so your iPhone knows where to focus the sounds. By doing so, other participants on the call can take in more of what’s going on around you. It’s the reverse of noise cancellation or Voice Isolation, enhancing the sounds around you.
Why Would You Use Wide Spectrum Mode?
Wide Spectrum mode is helpful in various situations where you need to elevate the sounds around you. Here’s a look at some of the best examples of where it can help.
When participating in a group call. Gathered the family around your FaceTime call so everyone can say hi to that relative living away? Turn Wide Spectrum Mode on, and everyone can be heard, making the experience feel more like you’re there.When conducting a lesson. If you’re trying to perform or teach a class, such as a music performance on FaceTime, Wide Spectrum enhances the sound, so every detail is captured more appropriately than if you used voice Isolation or Standard mode. When wanting to capture a moment better. The person you’re talking to gets a fuller experience of your environment with more background noise and sound. Ideal for those long-distance calls where folks think they’re missing out.
Does Wide Spectrum Work With Other Apps?
It’s possible for Wide Spectrum to work with other apps as Apple hasn’t restricted the mode to solely Apple-made apps. Some examples of other apps that use Wide Spectrum include Webex, Zoom, and WhatsApp.
Does Wide Spectrum Work With Older iPhones?
Wide Spectrum requires an A12 Bionic chip or newer, so it won’t work on the iPhone X or older devices.
