Video audio has mysterious static sound when playing recorded video using Camera app.

i'm having the exact same issue on my iPhone XR . This happens only when recording via camera app. Tried all the things but nothing works. Is there anyone who fixed this issue ?

I have the iphone 12pro max & literally having the same problem. I tried updating, tried changing the video settings.. nothing. My phone is practically brand new & never been in water or anything! WHY😭

Same!! But for me it is camera app video and voice memos. It records fine when I’m shooting video using Instagram stories, but not through the camera app or voice memos. It sounds like I’m at the bottom of a well and an old film reel is playing in the background.

Just record your sound on slowmotion and it will repair it!!! Greetings from Bosnia

Hi ToastyMitten,

We understand that you're hearing static when recording videos on your iPhone 12 Pro, and we'd like to help. When you get a chance, would you mind working through the steps below and letting us know if the problem happens in all instances? The reason we ask is that the iPhone has multiple microphones and this will help us better determine which one is having the problem.

If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working

Have a great day!

I was getting static in the beginning of video recordings (starting today 1/16/21). I just went to settings > camera > Record Video > and changed between settings, tried it out and then ended up back at my original setting and it worked. I have no idea why, but that worked.

I am also having this issue on my iPhone 12 Pro. I've had the phone since the fall, and I don't think it's happened for my entire period owning it, but it definitely has been happening for the last week-plus. I've tried all of the fixes listed here, and none of them have worked to completely eliminate the issue, though some have caused it to lessen, and others have made it worse. Like others have said, it only happens in the native Camera app. I'm shocked that there isn't a fix here yet, but sometimes Apple only seems interested in making apps that work just fine into trash, as they did with the update to the Podcasts app, which made it an absolute nightmare to use and deal with. Would love to see a fix in an iOS update at some point soon.

I’m having the same issue. I’ve had this issue since I got the iPhone 12 Pro a few months ago. I’ve tried everything nothing helps. This is definitely an issue with the camera app. I’ve also downloaded other camera apps from the App Store and the sound is crystal clear when recording video. The native camera app is garbage.

I had originally indicated that if you go to settings, camera, video recording and un check and recheck 1080p HD at 30 FPS it would fix the issue. However that is only temporary. The problem still exists.

Apple.com what are you going to do to correct this issue? I will be going to TMoble to replace my phone, however I suspect it is a systemic issue on all Apple Phones.

Hi there,

Thanks for following up with these additional details. From what you're describing, the problem does seem to be isolated to the Camera app. What video settings are you using in the app? Does the issue persist if you change the settings at all?

We look forward to hearing back from you soon!

Take care.

I am having the same issue. Just started today. Had this phone a month.

all I need to do is load the camera and go to video mode - I can hear the static noise faintly coming from the phone and I do not need to be recording.

when I do record, I can hear the noise, the video is shaky, and it is blurring / does not stay focused.

I was having the same issues and did what someone in this thread said and it fixed the problem.

Go to settings, camera, record video, uncheck 1080 HD and recheck, then go try a test video recording and see if no static exists. In my case, the static was gone.

good luck

I am also having the same issue. I know that there are 3 mics on the iPhone 12 Pro, different apps use different ones. The video recording for me is very crackly on playback and that’s recited with the mic that’s located near to the camera on the back of the phone. Don’t know which other app to test that mic with? Tried updating software etc no good.

I have the same issue, except mine suddenly happened on an old video I took. Immediately after I recorded it, it was fine. However, 6 months later, half the video only had static sound.

(I recorded it on an iPad Pro 9.7 inch)
