How to Record the iPhone Screen

To screen record on an iPhone, you can use the built-in screen recording feature called “Screen Recording.” Here’s how to do it:

1. Enable Screen Recording in Control Center (if not already enabled):

• Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
• Scroll down and tap on “Control Center.”
• Tap “Customize Controls.”
• Under “More Controls,” find “Screen Recording” and tap the green plus icon (+) next to it to add it to your Control Center.

2. Start Screen Recording:

• Swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen (or swipe up from the bottom on older iPhone models) to open the Control Center.
• In the Control Center, you should see the “Screen Recording” button (an icon that looks like a circle with a dot inside).
• Tap the “Screen Recording” button.

3. Customize Your Screen Recording (Optional):

• You can customize your screen recording by holding down the “Screen Recording” button instead of tapping it. This will open a menu where you can enable or disable microphone audio for your recording. You can also set it to record your device’s screen or include your face through the front camera (if available).

4. Start Recording:

• After customizing your recording settings (if needed), tap “Start Recording” or simply tap the “Screen Recording” button again to begin recording.

5. Record Your Screen:

• Your iPhone will start a three-second countdown, and then it will begin recording your screen.
• To stop recording, you can tap the red status bar at the top of your screen (or the red bar in the Control Center) and confirm the action.

6. Access and Edit Your Screen Recording:

• After stopping the recording, you can find the recorded video in your Photos app under the “Recents” or “Albums” section, depending on your iOS version.
• You can edit, trim, or share the recording directly from the Photos app.

Remember that when you’re recording, everything on your iPhone’s screen, including notifications, will be captured. Make sure you have the necessary permissions and are respecting privacy laws when recording content that involves others.

Additionally, you can only use the screen recording feature on iPhones running iOS 11 or later. If you have an older iOS version, you won’t have access to this feature.
