Voice not working

  • Permissions. Settings → Gray → Microphone — make sure it’s on.
  • Background restrictions. iOS Low Power Mode can throttle audio. Turn it off and try again.
  • App restart. Force-quit Gray and reopen.
  • Test the mic in another app (Voice Memos). If it doesn’t work there, it’s a phone issue, not Gray.
  • Check Settings → Voice → Test mic. The waveform should react to your voice.
  • Check your phone isn’t on silent.
  • Bluetooth? Make sure Gray is routing to the right output. Settings → Voice → Audio output.

Usually a network blip. Gray will fall back to text-only for the rest of that turn. Try again on a stronger connection.

You’re on the free tier and hit the soft cap. Gray switches to text-only for the rest of the day. Upgrade to Lite or higher to raise the cap, or just keep chatting in text.
