Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I purchased a lab mic with a lightning connector on amazon, plugged it into my iPhone XR and it’s not working. Tried with another microphone with the same type of connector and same result. Is there a setting that is not allowing the mic’s to work?

Hey JamesLangdon,
It sounds like you are trying to connect an external microphone to your iPhone XR.
The Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter will be the correct adapter to use: Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter - Apple. You will want to make sure the cable that you are using is Apple-certified: Identify counterfeit or uncertified Lightning connector accessories - Apple Support.
If the microphone is still not working, here are several models listed: Apple Store - Accessories - Microphones. Choose iPhone Compatibility > iPhone XR to show models that are compatible with your iPhone.
Take care.
