So, I bought a iPhone 11 Pro to shoot videos and record. So I thought it would be a good idea to buy an external mic that works for iPhone . Then I had to buy an adapter so the cord would fit in the phone but yet the phone still used the same microphone and not the external mic.Is there something I can do to fix this?

Hey there Jaydenvalle,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re having issues switching the audio source while recording videos on your iPhone. We’ll be happy to help with this.
Did the mic you purchased come with any instructions on how this works? Some mic may come with an app that you use to record videos with the mic.
If not, try connecting the mic after opening the camera apps and switching to video. See if this helps at all.
If the issue still continues, try using the external mic to make a Voice Memo and see if that works. This will can help you determine if there is an issue with the external mic or connection. This article has more details:
