Pixel 3 can't record audio. Another app is using the mic.

Hi,

For the past few days I've not been able to record audio when recording video and keep getting the message "can't record audio. Another app is using the mic."

How do I find out what apps are running in the background and using the mic?

Thanks,

Dan

Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Apps>App Permissions, then Microphone, and see which apps have permission for the mic. Use that list to narrow down the culprit.
