My mic in my heafphones does not work for any voice recording app.

[Android Central Question]

I am trying to record some playtesting for a few games on my phone and cannot record any voice sound from my headphones mic. My headphones mic works and have tried another pair of headphones. I tried cleaning out the mic spot with a pin, and made sure they are plugged in. I even downloaded a voice memo app from the play store which did not record my voice from the headphone mic either. I did try taking a video with my phone camera and it records my headphone mic. I am genuinely confused. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
