        "content": "Yes\u2014but in most cases, you *won\u2019t* be able to use your DJI wireless mic (Mic, Mic 2, Mic 3, etc.) as the microphone *during* a regular phone call (cellular voice call) and have the phone\u2019s speaker play the other person's voice at the same time. Here\u2019s a breakdown of what\u2019s possible, why it generally doesn\u2019t work, and what to try instead.\n\n---\n\n### Why it usually doesn\u2019t work\n\n1. **Input & output routing limitations**  \n   When you plug in or connect an external mic (wired or via a receiver) to your phone, many phones **disable the built-in speaker** for call audio and attempt to route *both* input and output through that external device. DJI\u2019s official manual confirms that if you connect the receiver via the mobile-adapter, your phone\u2019s speaker is *not* usable. ([dl.djicdn.com](https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_Mic/DJI_Mic_User_Manual_v1.0_en.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Phone hardware & firmware restrictions**  \n   Cellular calls (the standard \u201cdialer\u201d voice calls) generally use dedicated audio paths (with echo cancellation, DSP, etc.) that are optimized for the phone\u2019s internal hardware. These paths often don\u2019t accept high-quality external inputs in the same way that recording apps or Bluetooth headsets do. DJI officially notes that with external receivers, the phone\u2019s built-in speaker can stop working when external audio devices are connected. ([dl.djicdn.com](https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_Mic/DJI_Mic_User_Manual_v1.0_en.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **DJI Mic \u201ccall\u201d support status**  \n   According to DJI\u2019s documentation: certain apps aren\u2019t compatible. For example, in their DJI Mic 3 third-party app compatibility list, they show \u201cFaceTime Call,\u201d \u201cCall\u201d => Not Available. That means the Mic 3 is *not* recognized as the mic input on normal phone calls. ([dl.djicdn.com](https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI%20Mic%203/20250828/COMPATIBILITY_LIST/DJI_Mic_3_ThirdParty_App_Compatibility_List_EN.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### What *does* work / what you can try\n\nAlthough you probably *can\u2019t* do what you want on a standard cellular phone call (through the dialer app) with the speaker on, there *are* a few alternatives that might get you close:\n\n- **Use VoIP / video-calling apps with external mic support**  \n   Apps like Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Discord etc., often let you select an external mic input. In many of these, the Mic 2 or Mic 3 works when connected (via receiver or Bluetooth). Voice comes through the app, not necessarily the phone\u2019s built-in system. That lets you hear the other person through the phone speaker or headset while your voice is picked up by the external mic.\n\n- **Record first, call later**  \n   If your goal is high-quality audio of your own voice, you could record with the DJI mic, then send the file or playback. Not ideal for real time conversation though.\n\n- **Use a Bluetooth headset or mic built explicitly for phone calls**  \n   If call quality (voice phone calls) is what you want, a headset Bluetooth mic designed for calls will work and support full duplex communication (you talk, you hear).\n\n- **Test your specific setup**  \n   Some Android phones behave differently, especially with certain settings or 3rd party apps. If your phone is Android, try plugging in the receiver using the proper adapter, make a call with speaker on, and see if the phone lets the external mic capture your voice. Some users report that when they connect DJI\u2019s mic, the other person *can\u2019t* hear them, or the phone forces the default internal mic. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/dji/comments/10jrwhu/dji_mic_for_voice_calls_on_mobile_please_help/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### Bottom line\n\n- You *can\u2019t reliably* use a DJI wireless mic as your mic *and* hear the other person via speaker during a **normal cellular call**.\n- The phone tends to route both mic *and* speaker output through what you\u2019ve connected (external mic/receiver), often disabling the speaker or outputting through the receiver instead.\n- For real-time calls, your best bet is to use call-aware gear (like a Bluetooth call headset) or use apps that allow selecting mic and speaker independently.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which DJI Mic model you have (Mic, Mic 2, Mic 3, Mic Mini, etc.) *and* your phone type (iPhone or Android), I can check whether your specific device might be an exception or has settings to make this work."

Most are according to DJI\u2019s user manuals and support documents.   \n\n---\n\n### \ud83e\uddd0 What the flashing light usually indicates\n\nAccording to the official user manual:\n\n- The LED flashing on the transmitter generally means **it is not recording or is idle**. When it *is* recording, the LED should be solid red. ([fcc.report](https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/2ANDR-AST01/5536292.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- If the LED is off completely, it could mean the LED indicator has been turned off in settings. ([repair.dji.com](https://repair.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700007413&documentType=&lang=en&paperDocType=ARTICLE&re=US&spaceId=17&utm_source=openai))  \n\nSo flashing typically suggests the mic is powered and connected (to something), but *not* actively recording.  \n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udee0 Possible reasons your iPhone isn\u2019t using it as the mic\n\nEven with flashing, there are several common causes for why audio is still coming from the iPhone\u2019s built-in mic:\n\n1. **Receiver / Adapter not fully seated**  \n   If the mobile receiver (or the adapter) is not *firmly* plugged in, the connection can be intermittent or incomplete. Users have fixed recognition issues by ensuring the adapter is fully inserted. ([repair.dji.com](https://repair.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700007568&documentType=&lang=en&paperDocType=ARTICLE&re=US&spaceId=17&utm_source=openai))  \n\n2. **Firmware or settings mismatch**  \n   - The firmware on your DJI device might be out of date, causing compatibility issues with current iOS versions. ([repair.dji.com](https://repair.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700007568&documentType=&lang=en&paperDocType=ARTICLE&re=US&spaceId=17&utm_source=openai))  \n   - Settings in the DJI transmitter or receiver could be configured so the LED indicator is disabled (or brightness set low) or audio routing mode is wrong. ([repair.dji.com](https://repair.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700007413&documentType=&lang=en&paperDocType=ARTICLE&re=US&spaceId=17&utm_source=openai))  \n\n3. **App or system doesn\u2019t allow external mic input**  \n   iOS requires apps to support external audio inputs. The native Camera app or system video recorder may *not* switch automatically to the external mic in some cases. ([repair.dji.com](https://repair.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700011794&documentType=&lang=en&paperDocType=ARTICLE&re=US&spaceId=17&utm_source=openai))  \n\n4. **Accessory detection error**  \n   Sometimes iPhones ask you if you've plugged in a pair of \u201cHeadphones\u201d or \u201cOther Accessory\u201d. If you chose \u201cHeadphones\u201d or the detection stuck, the device gets misrecognized, and the mic input isn\u2019t used. ([discussions.apple.com](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256088234?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \u2705 What you can try to fix or further diagnose\n\nHere are steps to troubleshoot:\n\n- **Check connections**: Make sure the receiver-or adapter is fully and cleanly plugged in. Dust or weak plug may prevent recognition. ([repair.dji.com](https://repair.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700007568&documentType=&lang=en&paperDocType=ARTICLE&re=US&spaceId=17&utm_source=openai))  \n- **Update firmware**: Use the DJI app to ensure the transmitter and receiver are using the latest firmware. ([repair.dji.com](https://repair.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700007568&documentType=&lang=en&paperDocType=ARTICLE&re=US&spaceId=17&utm_source=openai))  \n- **Check LED settings**: In DJI\u2019s settings on the receiver, confirm that LED indicators are turned on (and not set to low brightness) if wanting to see color or indication. ([repair.dji.com](https://repair.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700007413&documentType=&lang=en&paperDocType=ARTICLE&re=US&spaceId=17&utm_source=openai))  \n- **Try another app**: Use a different recording app (Voice Memo, a third-party video app) to test if external mic input shows up. This helps see if it\u2019s system limitation. ([repair.dji.com](https://repair.dji.com/help/content?customId=01700011794&documentType=&lang=en&paperDocType=ARTICLE&re=US&spaceId=17&utm_source=openai))  \n- **Reboot iPhone**: Sometimes a fresh start allows the device to recognize the external mic accessory correctly. ([getdroidtips.com](https://www.getdroidtips.com/dji-mic-not-linking-working-iphone/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me exactly which model of DJI Mic you have (Mic 1, Mic 2, Mic 3, Mini, etc.), and which iPhone model and iOS version you\u2019re using, I can guide with more specific steps or settings."

Here are some suggestions, based on recent user reports and Apple\u2019s guidance:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d Why the prompt might not show up again\n\n- **iOS version / outdated UI changes**: The \u201cUSB Audio Accessories\u201d section has moved around in recent iOS versions. It may have been renamed or be hidden depending on how your phone is managed or your iOS version. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/iPadOS/comments/1mp2s5o/forget_all_usb_audio_accessories_is_missing_in/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Phone thinks the accessory is already trusted**: If you\u2019ve selected \u201cOther Device\u201d or \u201cHeadphones\u201d once, iOS assumes your choice for subsequent inserts. Sometimes \u201cForget All USB Audio Accessories\u201d doesn\u2019t fully reset what iOS considers \u201ctrusted.\u201d ([discussions.apple.com](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255247281?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Hardware or adapter issues**: The adapter or cable may be causing miscommunication; if audio devices aren\u2019t fully detected (especially for the microphone pins etc.), iOS might default or skip prompts. Dirty/loose ports can also prevent correct detection. ([thetoolstrunk.com](https://thetoolstrunk.com/allow-accessories-to-connect-not-showing-on-iphone/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \u2699\ufe0f What you can try to trigger the prompt again\n\nHere are several methods users have found effective at restoring the prompt or resetting the configuration:\n\n1. **Reconnect the mic while unlocked**  \n   - Fully unlock your iPhone first.  \n   - Plug in the mic / receiver via the adapter while the phone is unlocked.  \n   - Watch for any prompt asking you whether the device is a headphone or \u201cOther Device.\u201d  \n   Sometimes iOS delays or suppresses the prompt if the phone is locked. ([thetoolstrunk.com](https://thetoolstrunk.com/allow-accessories-to-connect-not-showing-on-iphone/?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Use a different adapter or cable (official/MFi-certified)**  \n   - If you\u2019re using a third-party adapter, try an Apple official one or one certified for MFi (if Lightning) or USB-C with audio capabilities.  \n   - The mic\u2019s or adapter\u2019s detection circuitry sometimes fails if the adapter doesn\u2019t properly support mic input or isn\u2019t wired correctly. ([macobserver.com](https://www.macobserver.com/iphone/microphone-not-working-plugged-aux-iphone/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Reset all settings**  \n   - Go to **Settings \u2192 General \u2192 Transfer or Reset \u2192 Reset \u2192 Reset All Settings**.  \n   - This resets audio/device/USB accessory configurations *and* system preferences but doesn\u2019t erase your data.  \n   Users report this helps bring back missing options when prompts stopped showing entirely. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/1myz3et?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Clean and inspect the connection**  \n   - Make sure the Lightning or USB-C port and the mic/receiver\u2019s connector are clean, dry, and free of lint or corrosion.  \n   - Ensure the adapter is inserted fully and snugly. A loose connection may be detected as \u201ccharge only\u201d or misrecognized. ([thetoolstrunk.com](https://thetoolstrunk.com/allow-accessories-to-connect-not-showing-on-iphone/?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **Update iOS and firmware**  \n   - Make sure your iPhone is running the latest iOS version.  \n   - If your DJI mic or its receiver has firmware upgrades, update it via the DJI app.  \n   Software updates may fix bugs in how USB/mic accessories are recognized. ([diymobileaudio.com](https://www.diymobileaudio.com/threads/iphone-usb-accessories-no-longer-work-ios-update-17-1-1.463849/?utm_source=openai))\n\n6. **Try plugging the mic in midway**  \n   - Some users report the prompt shows up when plugging in partially (half-way) and then pushing fully. The act of inserting slowly or partially triggers the detection. ([discussions.apple.com](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255235042?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your iOS version (e.g. iOS 18.x or 26.x) *and* whether your adapter is Apple-official or third-party, I can help you figure out exactly which options should be visible (or might have been renamed) in your Settings."

Here are steps to troubleshoot this issue based on recent guidance and official documentation.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd0d What\u2019s going on: Possible causes\n\n- The iPhone and computer may be detecting the transmitter/receiver as an output-only device\u2014basically headphones\u2014rather than a proper audio input.  \n- There could be mismatched wiring in the adapter (TRRS vs TRS), or the adapter doesn\u2019t support microphone input. (R\u00d8DE help article) ([help.rode.com](https://help.rode.com/hc/en-us/articles/13897783754639?utm_source=openai))  \n- The accessory type might have been locked in incorrectly (\u201cheadphones\u201d instead of \u201cother device\u201d) and forgetting USB audio accessories alone didn\u2019t reset everything. ([help.rode.com](https://help.rode.com/hc/en-us/articles/13897783754639?utm_source=openai))  \n- On your computer, there might be default audio input/output settings that prioritize its internal mic or \ud83c\udfa7 headphones rather than the external device.\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 What to try to force proper mic detection\n\nHere are several things you can do\u2014some you've already done, but with tweaks that might help.\n\n#### 1. Use a **known-compatible adapter**\n- If you're using anything other than an official Apple Lightning/USB-C adapter or a recognized MFi-certified adapter, replace it with one. Third-party adapters often cut out the mic signal. ([help.rode.com](https://help.rode.com/hc/en-us/articles/13897783754639?utm_source=openai))  \n- Confirm the mic \u00e0 dongle \u00e0 phone chain matches wiring standards (TRRS\u2014Tip/Ring/Ring/Sleeve\u2014for mic support). If you're using a cable that doesn't have the correct wiring, the mic might not be recognized. ([syncoaudio.com](https://www.syncoaudio.com/blogs/news/iphone-external-microphone-not-working?utm_source=openai))  \n\n#### 2. Completely reset USB accessory recognition\n- You already tried \u201cForget All USB Audio Accessories.\u201d Next, try also:\n  - Resetting all settings on the iPhone: **Settings \u2192 General \u2192 Transfer or Reset \u2192 Reset All Settings** (this won\u2019t erase data, but restores system defaults and may clear improper accessory registration). ([syncoaudio.com](https://www.syncoaudio.com/blogs/news/iphone-external-microphone-not-working?utm_source=openai))  \n  - Turn off Bluetooth and unplug other audio accessories so the phone has only this connected device to think about.\n\n#### 3. Check cable/connection on the DJI gear\n- On the DJI Mic Receiver: make sure the TX/RX link is solid and that the device being plugged is the receiver (not just the transmitter). The receiver has the proper mic-out/line-out port. If you plug the transmitter itself to the phone/computer (but that's not the intended signal path), it can misbehave. ([dji.com](https://www.dji.com/li/mic/faq?utm_source=openai))  \n- Inspect that connections are tight and the cable or adapter isn\u2019t loose or partially inserted. Sometimes ports detect wrong pin connections if things aren\u2019t fully seated. ([syncoaudio.com](https://www.syncoaudio.com/blogs/news/iphone-external-microphone-not-working?utm_source=openai))  \n\n#### 4. On your **computer**: set the external mic properly\n- When it\u2019s plugged in, go into your sound settings (on Windows: *Sound settings \u2192 Input*, or on macOS: *System Settings \u2192 Sound \u2192 Input*) and select the DJI Mic Receiver (or whatever the external device is listed as). Sometimes the system defaults to internal mic or identifies the device incorrectly.  \n- Check whether the headset/mic is listed at all. If it's only listed under outputs, the device may be drawing power or sending output, but not acting as input.\n\n#### 5. Restart both devices, update firmware/software\n- Reboot your iPhone, computer, and the DJI Mic Receiver/Transmitter. Sometimes power-cycle helps reset detection logic.  \n- Check DJI\u2019s website or app for firmware updates for both receiver and transmitters. Outdated firmware may cause detection to fail or misclassify the device. ([dji.com](https://www.dji.com/li/mic/faq?utm_source=openai))  \n\n#### 6. Test on **another device or app**\n- Plug the DJI Mic into a different phone/computer (if possible) to see if the problem persists. If yes, more likely it's a hardware or adapter issue.  \n- On the iPhone, use different apps that allow manual audio input selection (e.g. FiLMiC Pro, Voice Record Pro) to force the external mic as input. ([syncoaudio.com](https://www.syncoaudio.com/blogs/news/iphone-external-microphone-not-working?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me:\n\n- exactly which iPhone model and iOS version you have,  \n- which DJI Mic model (Mic 1, Mic 2, Mic 3 etc.),  \n- what adapter or cable you're using (official Apple or third-party; Lightning or USB-C),  \n\n\u2014I can walk you through a more tailored set of steps to get it working correctly."
