So when i open voice memos or any other audio recorder it doesn’t record my voice but it works perfectly fine on video. I have done everything including force restart, updating my iPad and resetting all settings with no improvement. I know the mic isn’t broken cos it works but on voice memos it picks up when i move the iPad or like tap the screen with force. But it picks up absolutely nothing else. Any solutions?

Hi Saaim_Malik,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! If you're experiencing an issue with the microphones on your iPad, the guidance below can help:
If the microphones on your iPad aren't working
Test your microphones
1. Open the Camera app.
2. To test the front microphone, record a video of yourself speaking while facing the camera on the front of your iPad.
3. To test the back microphone, tap the camera chooser to switch to the back camera. Then record another video of yourself speaking while facing the camera on the back of your iPad.
4. Play back both videos. You should hear your voice clearly in each.
If your voice sounds too quiet or muffled when you play back the videos you recorded using the Camera app, make sure that the microphones on your iPad aren't blocked by your hands or a case. If your iPad has a screen protector, make sure that the screen protector has an opening over the front microphone.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
OMG!!! thank you! I’ve been dealing with this issue ever since i got my ipad and i’m just now realizing that it’s because my screen cover was covering the front mic.(that i didn’t know was there)
My ipad pro 11 inch mic only works on video
