Recording a video on your iPhone with background music or a podcast playing in the background is almost impossible, except when the audio is coming from a second device, but a viral TikTok video might have changed the game and people are even calling it "life-changing."
This simple iPhone hack has been blowing people's minds off.
A Common iPhone Dilemma
As every iPhone user would know, every time the device's video function is turned on, songs or podcasts playing from Spotify or locally stored audio will instantly get turned off.
Until now, there never really are any solutions and iPhone users have just begun using filters from Instagram and the like to play audio while taking a short clip, but thanks to TikTok user Erik Tollefsrud, iPhone users have found an amazing hack that lets them record videos with the music or audio on.
According to In The Know, the short video shows an easy but effective workaround for the video and music dilemma.
As of writing, the viral TikTok has now over 2 million views, and it has only been uploaded a couple of days ago, with many in the comments saying how the trick was "life-changing" for them.

How to Record Videos With the Music On
So, how do you do the trick?
Based on the TikTok, turning on the video function will turn off any audio, but the camera function does not, so to record some videos with music on, start by opening the device's camera app, then go play any song or audio that fits in the video.
Once the audio is playing, flip back to the camera then click and hold the button.
This should do the trick and the iPhone should start recording a video without cutting off the background music.
Furthermore, Apple enthusiasts can even slide the camera button on the side to allow the device to continue recording, all without cutting the audio off.
