set up

Simply insert the IOS MIC Blockr into the charging outlet on your phone.

 

getting started

Access your phones Bluetooth, switch on and select ‘micblockr’ from the list and connect.

Note: This is a one-time procedure and not needed for subsequent connections as your phone will automatically connect to Mic Blockr each time its attached.

how to use

Pressing the MIC Blockr button once will switch on a blue indicator light on the MIC Blockr unit confirming the device is connected and you can use the phone as normal in microphone mode.

Note: This may take a few seconds for a continuous blue light to appear while the Mic Blockr connects with your Bluetooth.

light on indicator

Light On = Mic On. (You can be heard and covertly monitored)


Pressing the MIC Blockr button once more will extinguish the blue LED and render all microphones off. Now you are now totally protected, and the microphones are unable to be accessed by any installed apps or internal phone operating systems, therefore providing you with total offline audio privacy.

light off indicator

Light Off = Mic Off. (Your privacy is totally secured with all microphones disabled)


Although generally safe, for added protection we advise disabling SIRI in your phone settings. We cannot guarantee that all apps are unable to gain access to this proprietary microphone, but this added measure will enhance your privacy.
When attached you can use the MIC Blockr as a convenient ‘mute’ function whilst on a regular or VOIP call.

can apps still access my microphone?

can I still take calls with MIC Blockr?

When attached you can use the MIC Blockr as a convenient ‘mute’ function whilst on a regular or VOIP call.  

By pressing the button once (Light Off) your voice microphone is muted, and the caller cannot hear you. When you need to be heard again simply press the button once more (Light On) to reactivate the microphone and continue your call. 

can I use a charging cable with MIC Blockr?

You can also charge your phone whilst the MIC Blockr is connected by simply attaching a charging cable to the charging port on the MIC Blockr device. 

benefits?

When your MIC Blockr is connected its able to provide total offline audio privacy, with internal microphones, apps and voice recognition software completely blocked from covertly monitoring external audio and surround sounds.
Keep your bedside chat, confidential meetings, and offline discussions private with the confidence you are not being covertly monitored. MIC Blockr also helps prevent spam adds appearing that have utilised AI to pick up on keywords in your offline conversations.


*Please note on Apple phones we advise to switch off SIRI to be fully protected.
*When your microphones are muted (with some models) your playback speakers may be muted. To listen to audio playback you can simply un-mute your MIC Blockr.
MIC Blockr — the best audio privacy device to keep with your phone.
