Camera App and External Audio Interface

I’m an instagram content creator, I want to start recording using my 11 Pro Max (IOS 16) to record using an external audio interface (inbuilt audio takes much background noise)

How do I change the audio input to the external device while using the camera app to record?


Thanks in advance

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Thanks for reaching out Nihinlola,


This can vary a lot based on the external mic you end up using. Some even have their own apps with settings you'd adjust.


If you are using an external microphone and run into an issue, test using the Voice Memo app and see if you get the same result: Make a recording in Voice Memos on iPhone - Apple Support


If the issue happens there, it helps isolate the issue away from the third-party app accessing the camera. If it works fine and the memo plays back without issues, there may be an issue with Instagram.


For support for the microphone, reach out to the manufacturer, as they'll be best equipped to troubleshoot the product.


Take care.
