How to record video on iPhone with music from a smartphone

The standard camera app on the iPhone automatically turns off the music playing on the device when shooting a video. This is a protective measure to prevent the user from accidentally recording a song or podcast episode over ambient sounds, which could ruin the recording.

But not all users know that iOS has a way to record sounds from the camera microphone and from the smartphone itself at the same time. Here's how to do it.

1. Make sure your camera is set to Photo mode and not Video mode.
2. Turn on the music on your iPhone that you want to play in the background.
3. Open the Camera app.
4. Hold down the shoot button and move it to the right - to the icon in the form of a lock.
5. Now you can remove your finger: you are recording a normal video, but with music from the iPhone on top of the main audio track.

The finished video will be saved to the Photos app, where it can be edited in the same way as regular videos.
