Voice Isolation

Sorry Android users, this feature is for iPhone/iPad only.  Bummer for me.

Voice Isolation is a feature that allows you to mute your background noise allowing your voice to stand out to the person you're talking to.  Gourmet Chef Elaine and I tested this out by cranking up some Kenny Chesney music on our Bose speaker and then I called her.  In normal mode, I could hear Kenny quite well, but after she turned on Voice Isolation, Kenny was gone.  It's like someone killed Kenny.  OMG.

Voice Isolation can only be activated during a phone call (or Facetime) and lasts only for the duration of that call.  Just swipe down from the top-right corner towards the middle of your screen, which opens your Control Center (left picture below).  Tap Mic Mode and select Voice Isolation (right picture below).  You might also see a Wide Spectrum option, which is the reverse of Voice Isolation and will magnify your background, which might be useful on an iPad Facetime when multiple people need to be heard.  

More details and prerequisite hardware and software levels can be found at this Apple Support link.
