When you shoot video on iPhone 16 models, multiple formats are featured, such as Spatial Audio and Stereo are recorded to let users have audio customisation.
If you record a video with Spatial Audio enabled, you can later edit the video sound — to reduce background noise to focus on the person speaking on camera.
Spatial Audio produces a more realistic and immersive audio recording, while it also lets you edit the sound of your video later in the Photos app using the new Audio Mix feature.

Audio Mix utilises integrated machine learning to identify and separate background audio and speech, letting you select one of the following options to remix your video's sound:
- Standard: Play the original audio you recorded.
- In-Frame: Reduce sounds and voices from sources not visible in the video frame.
- Studio: Reduce background sounds and reverb, to make it sound more like you’re recording in a professional studio.
- Cinematic: Put all the voices onto a front-facing track and leave environmental noises in the surroundings, like the audio in movies.
Editing With Audio Mix
Gadinsider has compiled steps to show you how to edit the audio of a video captured on iPhone 16.
- Launch the Photos app on your iPhone.
- Open a video, then tap the Edit icon (it looks like three sliders).
- Tap Audio Mix, then choose one of the following: Standard, In-Frame, Studio, and Cinematic.
- Drag the slider below the mix options to increase or decrease the effect and background noise levels.
- Tap Done to finish.
On iPhone 16 series, when you record video with Spatial Audio or Stereo, wind noise is automatically reduced while recording. You can disable this setting by going to Settings ➝ Camera ➝ Record Sound, then turning off Wind Noise Reduction.
