Random Noises Heard When Screen Recording

I was screen recording a sound effect video on YouTube, and right when I started to screen record, I heard random noises until I stopped the recording. I don’t know if this is something with YouTube or my phone. I’m paranoid that a hacker or someone was spying on me and I happened to record their microphone or something. Can someone please confirm if this is a bug or not?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

It likely was you or your background! Prior to screen recording, if you press and hold on the screen recording icon, there is an icon labeled microphone. Make sure that is unselected, then try recording again. If you would like to keep your current recording, you can always disable the audio in the photos app under the editing menu.


Hope this helps

Hi there Kerem13,


If you heard unexpected audio while screen recording, is it possible that these sounds were made in the video you were screen recording? If you screen record another app or function of your iPhone, does this also occur? That will allow us to narrow down the source of this behavior.


Also, if you are concerned about the privacy or security of your iPhone, this article has some great recommendations on what to do to ensure your device and Apple ID account are secure: Use the built-in privacy and security protections of iPhone


If you are concerned about something else, please provide more details so that we can continue to assist.


Cheers!
