Lavalier Mic (3.5MM) ONLY for audio input, not output?

I've been recording multi-participant videos on Zoom. My phone's camera gets better video quality than my computer and to compensate for the inferior audio, I bought a lavalier mic to plug into the headphone jack.

The only issue with this is that the phone understandably detects this as a pair of headphones with a microphone, not just as a microphone. So when the "headset" is selected, the mic is live but I can't hear what the other people are saying.

Is there any option/app that allows you to make separate choices for input/output?

Something like https://www.amazon.com/Splitter-conn...cUvbUpU6646899 will let you plug both a mic and headphones into the jack.
