iPhone crackling sound when recording video: causes and fixes

Crackling when recording video on an iPhone is usually caused by a case covering the microphone, dirt, wind or a connected Bluetooth headset. An iPhone has more than one microphone; record with Voice Memos, the front camera and the rear camera separately to find which one is faulty.

Key points
  • A case or screen protector can cover the microphones.
  • Wind and loud sound can be heard as crackling.
  • A connected Bluetooth headset can take over recording.
  • Test each microphone with Voice Memos, the front camera and the rear camera.
  • Crackling after a drop or liquid can point to a faulty microphone.

01Test the microphones

TestWhich microphone
Recording in Voice MemosBottom microphone
Video with the front cameraFront microphone
Video with the rear cameraRear microphone

Listen to the recordings; if only one crackles, that microphone is the problem.

02Step-by-step checks

  1. Remove the case and protector. They may cover the microphone holes.
  2. Turn off Bluetooth. A connected headset may be recording instead.
  3. Try without wind. Wind sounds like crackling.
  4. Update and restart. This rules out a software cause.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Why is there crackling when I record video on iPhone?

A case, dirt, wind or a connected Bluetooth headset are the most common causes. A faulty microphone after a drop or liquid is also possible.

02

How do I know which microphone is faulty?

Record with Voice Memos, the front camera and the rear camera separately; if only one crackles, that microphone is the problem.

03

Can software cause crackling?

It can. Update and restart; if it only happens in one app, check that app’s settings.

04

Will a microphone repair delete my data?

Data is usually preserved during a repair; still, you need to back up your data before the repair starts (backups are the customer’s responsibility).

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
