Iphone 11 as of December 12th, 2021…Facetime does NOT record audio with microphone in on position. Maybe its Apples high-minded way of keeping its users virtuous as most state laws prohibit recording another party without at least one party consent. Check your state. Something I did ascertain after a call with my daughter. If Live Photo is on, Any screenies you take during the call will contain audio when you edit or hold the screen. Deal with that Apple!
iOS 14.4 – can enable audio for recording but it ends up with an error. Tested with WhatsApp and Facetime. The both Apps failed recording with audio even though Microphone is turned on and audio is enabled.
