In-Call voip status bar in background

We are currently developing an app that uses peer-to-peer audio/voice transfer through APIs. When the app is in the background, a message appears in the in-call status bar reading “XXX (Recording)”. If we remove the in-call status bar altogether the voice goes to mute when the app is in the background. Apparently this message comes from Apple because it doesn’t appear in Android Samsung devices. We would like to change the content and perhaps the color of the in-call status bar in order to remove the word “Recording”. Please refer to attached screen shot. So any advice on the in-call status bar modification? Skype for example has its costume VoIP status bar

Thank you.enter image description here

You cannot hide or customize the recording bar.
iOS chooses the colors and text of the bar depending on what you are doing:

Recordings are red, which is what you are doing.
Calls are green, which is what Skype is doing.
AirPlay and Personal hotspot are blue.

If you want the same color as Skype try changing your UIBackgroundModes to "voip" (or maybe look if you need to be using CallKit?)

Modifying recording bar (Color-text or anything) is NOT POSSIBLE in ios.

Hiding this when you are using Microphone is also NOT POSSIBLE. This bar appear as long as you use mic. Recoding or not, if mic is in use, It will display this bar. Its security measure for users to know that an app is listening to microphone.
