You can record audio from your iPhone using the screen recording feature, which creates a video file. However, if you only need the audio, you can record it directly on your Mac. This guide shows you how.
The process is the same for both iPhone and iPad, but for simplicity, this guide will refer to the iPhone.
Key Steps
- Connect your iPhone and Mac with a Lightning or USB-C cable.
- Unlock your iPhone.
- On your Mac, go to Applications → Utilities → Audio MIDI Setup.
- In the sidebar, click on your iPhone or iPad.
- Click the "Enable" button that appears.
- A new "iPhone" entry will appear with "2 ins / 0 outs."
- Open an audio recording software like Audacity (free).
- Select your iPhone as the recording device.
- Press the record button to start capturing audio from your iPhone.
