iPhone 12 mini How do I turn the microphone off for video on my iphone 12 mini?

I want to take some video that I'll overdub later, and I don't want to capture the audio. I went to settings/camera, and the closest I found was a control that says 'record stereo sound', but deactivating it still resulted in recording audio, in mono I trust.

How do I turn the audio off for my video recordings?

I don't believe it's possible to record a video without audio without third party software or use of some sort of external device. However, you can very easily remove the audio track from a video using the Photos app or on Mac using QuickTime or iMovie

Thanks for the reply. For such sophisticated devices they should have this option, but I'll just delete the audio after.

Hmm... there's a privacy setting to disable the mic inside specific apps, but Camera doesn't show up in there!

See my post #2. Just an FYI that you don't actually need a third party app to do that.

I had been using iOS 9 for 6 years and was stuck in my old ways. Wasn’t possible to turn off sound in photos app back then
