Using an External Mic on iPhone 8+

My son's phone stopped recognizing external mics that he uses for recording music - software is iOs 15.3. He uses BandLab, Soundtrap, & Voloco - and his external mic WAS working and then as he updated iOS it stopped working. We bought him a new mic for Christmas and alas it also didn't work with his iPhone 8+. Any workaround you can suggest?
