Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

I'd like to record voice messages with an external microphone, e.g. bluetooth headphones.

#### Why would you like to do it?

The microphone sits closer to the origin of sound than the smart phone.

#### How would you like to achieve it?

There's probably a library where you can select the input. Detect if external microphone is connected and if, record from it instead of the device internal one.

### Have you considered any alternatives?

Using another apps for voice messages

### Additional context

_No response_

### Are you willing to provide a PR?

No
