Once you know how to record stereo sound on iPhone, you’ll learn to appreciate more than just the excellent camera. See while it's the cameras that often make iPhones some of the best phones around, there's more to creating great videos than just the image quality. Think about your favorite movies: the sound is rich, clear and immersive. There's no point recording a beautiful cinematic film in 4K, only to have it let down by tinny sound.
Unfortunately, in real life, no-one has a sound engineer with a boom mic following them around. This is where the ability to record stereo sound on your iPhone comes in very handy.
Stereo sound will add depth to your recordings with directional sound captured from the microphones in your device. The iPhone 14 for instance has three different mics, one on the underside, one on the front and one on the rear. Pair your iPhone with one of the best microphones, and the results will be even better.
It’s so simple to switch to Stereo — faster than filming a TikTok! Read on for step-by-step instructions (just don’t forget to hit record).
How to record stereo sound on iPhone
1. Open the Settings app, then tap Camera.
2. From here simply select Record Stereo Sound.
3. Make sure the toggle is green, then enjoy your quality video audio!
And action! That’s all you need to do to record stereo sound on your iPhone. To see what the new iPhone 14 camera is really made of, have a look at our test of the 48MP ProRAW camera mode. If you prefer static pictures to video then why not discover how to blur the background of iPhone photos and then touch them up by learning how to quickly undo image edits on iPhone.
