Phone isn’t recognizing external mic

Is there a special setting I need to use in order for the iPhone to recognize that an extra mic is plugged in?

Hello copaceticincarnate,


There is not a specific setting or steps to take to choose your current input on iPhone. Choices for input and output are often specific to the app being used. If you have an issue with an accessory being recognized we recommend contacting the manufacturer directly to ensure it is compatible with your iPhone and your current iOS version.


If there are changes you'd like to see for external microphone compatibility we recommend sharing feedback directly here: Product Feedback - Apple


Cheers.
