Thanks much, it’s interesting to think that I’m now experiencing something I
thought of as a defficiency, deactivating the Bluetooth microphone channel, as
a desired feature.
As of tomorrow I’ll be able to check this with a true Lightning microphone, so
far I’ve been using a USB mic with the Apple Lightning adapterwho knows, my
phone may say, wll now that it’s a real Lightning mic I’m happy to let you do
what you want. So far though everything I’ve found says that if a Bluetooth
microphone is available through the HFP Hands Free Protocol, apps like Facetime
and Zoom default to it. The native camera app seems to be the only one that
rejects that channel by default.
Cheers,
Ian

Hey Ian,
Some apps do allow you to do that, but it’s definitely not the norm. I doubt
Zoom supports using more than one audio device at once, for instance. The
first app that comes to mind is Backpack Studio, which has an option in its
settings to enable or disable the bluetooth mic when a bluetooth device is
connected. In that case you can definitely use a good microphone connected
via the lightning port, and monitor with a bluetooth headset while also
listening to VO. Now that I think of it, maybe Ferrite allows you to do it as
well, but I would need to check to make sure.
Hope that helps,
IC

I’ve been playing around with this a bit but haven’t found a solution yet.
What I’d like to do is use an external microphone plugged into the lightning
port of my IPhone while I use a Bluetooth headset to hear Voiceover and
control the phone. I know the technical capacity is there because you can do
it with the native camera app. The upshot of the camera app not supporting
Bluetooth microphones is that it doesn't recognize that channel at all,
defaulting to the on-board microphones or an external mic plugged into the
lightning port. If there is a way to do this manually I’d use one of my
better Lightning mics for Zoom sessions while hearing other people and
Voiceover through a Bluetooth headset.
It would also be handy for recording better quality audio with the Voice
Memos app. This would help avoid having Voiceover content showing up in a
recording.
Yup, I know that I can use a wired headset to accomplish this, but I’d like
the flexibilityof being able to move a few feet away from the phone.
Thanks,
Ian
