Voice isolation

In 2021, iOS 15 introduced a new feature called voice isolation which was initially only available on FaceTime calls. However, with the latest update, iOS 16.4, this feature can now be used during regular phone calls as well. Its purpose is to minimize background noise such as children playing or construction sounds, resulting in clearer voice transmission for the person on the other end.
