iPhone 13 pro makes a static noise when recording voice memos

Whenever I record a voice audio on imessage there’s a weird static noise. It’s not persistent throughout the entire audio but it makes the voice memo almost impossible to understand. The strange thing is it only happens with imessage voice memos, I sent a voice message through instagram and the audio was super clear. Audio on videos is also completely fine. I tried resetting my phone, taking off the phone case, cleaning the mic, recording without holding my phone, etc. but nothing has fixed it. I was hoping it would go away but it’s been almost a month and it has yet to go away. I rely on iMessage voice memos a lot because it’s the best way to communicate with my parents so I need help fixing this issue asap. What else can I do?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Good day to you sserendipity, 


We understand that when using audio messages in the Messages app, you are hearing some static. Have you had a chance to test recording a message in the Voice Memos app? If not, please do so. Make a recording in Voice Memos on iPhone


Make a basic recording
1. To begin recording, tap aa5fb0c1f9cd9ba7e4c6cd91fedbafe8.png.
To adjust the recording level, move the microphone closer to or farther from what you’re recording.
2. Tap 4a1bec0fcce30438d8abf07bfd2f0e75.png to finish recording.
Your recording is saved with the name New Recording or the name of your location, if Location Services is turned on in Settings 88b2400e45bcf521514b7252cbb2d959.png > Privacy & Security. To change the name, tap the recording, then tap the name and type a new one.
To fine-tune your recording, see Edit a recording in Voice Memos.

Note: For your privacy, when you use Voice Memos to make recordings, an orange dot appears at the top of your screen to indicate your microphone is in use.


Also, here are some steps to test microphones on your iPhone. If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working


Thanks.
