I want to use a microphone connected with my iPhone lightning port.
I go to the privacy settings to authorize but the photo app doesn’t appear. How do I add Photos so I can approve use of the microphone with videos.
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi DJV1255,
You may need to check with the manufacturer of the microphone to find out how to use it with your iPhone. They will be in the best position for help with this.
Take care.
