My external mic isn't working? Someone

So I just received my external mic for my Iphone, it has the end of like an aux cord so it fits in my phone and I don't need an adapter. But when I tested it, sound only recorded from the built in microphone and not the external mic. The phone seems to be recognizing it as headphones instead of a mic, is there a setting I need to change?!

Wrong connection. You have plugged a microphone into a headset port.
Headsets have both headphones and a microphone. You need to get an adapter that separates the single plug and jack hole for a headset into two jack holes for headphones and microphone.
Or get the adapter for just the microphone, as seen in video and the blog page.

  • Suggest me a Camera with external mic input and Flip screen with in affordable price I want to do travel vlog on my own, like with the help of tripod so I want to see my self while vlogging and I want there to be external mic input so that Audio quality should be rich. Please suggest. Apart from that tell me iPhone 6s+ is better for that work or I should buy a camera.
  • My iPhone 6+ mic isn't working? My voice text isn't working, neither is Siri. I tried using the Voxer app. Doesn't work. But voice memos work perfectly. I had a screen replacement and now it doesn't work!
  • Mic on iPhone 4 not working? I have the iPhone 4 running the latest iOS. I can't talk, because the other person can't hear me. I can record voice memos, it comes out blank. But I can record my voice using the video recorder. It's a used iPhone, but the last time the mic didn't work was over a month ago.
  • IPhone mic not working in calls? Yes I understand this has been asked before, but I can't find a direct answer. My friends iPhone 4 mic WILL work with FaceTime, record videos ect. And you can hear her but when you call her (no its not on mute and her mic isn't muted) you can't hear her at all. We already tried the hearing aid in access ability so it's not that. Any advice?
