WhatsApp audio recording issue

[DrAslam]

Samsung galaxy s21 ultra, Having connected with Samsung galaxy buds 2, While audio recording, the mic used is only of the inbuilt mobile mic rather than the buds 2 mic. While calling it works fine. But WhatsApp audio recording is only choosing the mobile mic which we cant change and is causing real discomfort that wearing an earbuds and taking the mobile to your face to record audio.

Does anyone feel or experience the same

It's possible that your Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is not automatically switching to the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 microphone during audio recording on WhatsApp. This could be due to a software issue or a compatibility issue between the app and the earbuds.

Here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:

1. Make sure your Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are connected properly: Check to ensure that your earbuds are properly connected to your phone and that they are recognized as the default audio device. You can do this by going to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth, selecting your earbuds, and making sure the option "Media audio" is turned on.

2. Check app permissions: Make sure that WhatsApp has permission to use the microphone. You can check this by going to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions and ensuring that the microphone permission is turned on.

3. Try recording audio using a different app: If the issue persists on WhatsApp, try recording audio using a different app to see if the problem is with the app or the earbuds. If the earbuds work fine with other apps, then the issue is likely with WhatsApp.

4. Update your phone and earbuds software: Check for any software updates for your phone and earbuds and install them if available. This can sometimes fix compatibility issues and improve performance.

If none of these steps work, you may want to contact Samsung support for further assistance, as there could be a software or hardware issue with your phone or earbuds.

Thanks for the reply, i think whatsapp doesn't have the ability to do so and its Samsung who has to respond. Unfortunately, there is no reply from their end.
Hope it might get taken care of in the near future 🤞🏽

This is total true. The problem is from my Samsung phone as in other apps like Telegram also I could not record audio.

Apple doesn't have this problem
