iOS Permission - Ideal Microphone Permission Dialog Text

I have a chat app, and that has an upload function in which the user can upload photos and videos from the gallery or capture one. On iOS, to record video, one needs microphone permission separately (why? - isn't it obvious?). Now whenever I'm trying to submit to App Store, my binary is being rejected because they say:

We noticed that your app requests the user’s consent to access their microphone but does not clarify the use of the microphone in the permission modal alert.

My current permission modal alert text (after several changes) is

Enable microphone access so that you can be heard in the video

And even this latest one was rejected. Is there a better text that I can provide which may be perceived as clearer and my app may pass the review?

Try an easy statement like :

"This app requires the access to Microphone to record your voice memo."

I have this statement in one of my app and it was accepted.

You can use either of these:

1. "We need access to your microphone for adding sounds and uploading them".

2. "We need access to your microphone so that you can add sounds and upload them after choosing".

3. " 'Your ProductName/AppName' uses your microphone to capture audio which is shared with other participants".

4. "We need access to your microphone so that you can record/hear voice messages".

Just simply define the reason why your app is using microphone, i think Fourth one might help you.
