# AudioRecordingIntent

An app intent that starts, stops or otherwise modifies audio recording state.

```
protocol AudioRecordingIntent : SystemIntent
```

## Overview

Adopt this protocol to create an app intent for audio recording functionality and tell the system that your app records audio.
As a result of this intent, the system displays an audio recording indicator.

> Important: In iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS, When you adopt the `AudioRecordingIntent` protocol,
> you must start a Live Activity when you begin the audio recording and keep it active as long as you record audio.
> If you don’t start a Live Activity, the audio recording stops.
