Screen recording is a great way to capture what’s happening on your iPhone, whether it’s a tutorial, a high score in a game, or a funny conversation.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to screen record on an iPhone:
- Open the Control Center: Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPhone screen (or up from the bottom on iPhone X and later) to open the Control Center.
- Tap the “Screen Recording” icon: It looks like a small circle with two concentric circles inside. You’ll see a countdown timer appear on the screen, giving you a few seconds to get to the screen or app you want to record.
- Start recording: Once the countdown timer ends, the screen recording will begin. You’ll see a red bar at the top of your screen, indicating that the recording is in progress. To stop the recording, tap the red bar and then tap “Stop.”
- Edit and share your recording: Once you’ve stopped the recording, it will be saved in the Photos app. You can then edit and share the recording with your friends and family.
Some additional tips:
- To record audio while recording your screen, press deeply (3D Touch) or long press on the Screen Recording icon in the Control Center and turn on the Microphone Audio toggle switch.
- To record a specific portion of your screen, use the Markup feature to draw a frame around the area you want to record.
- To add a video of yourself to the recording, use the Picture in Picture feature to display a video of yourself as you record the screen.
And that’s it! You are now a pro at screen recording on your iPhone. You can now create your own tutorials, record funny moments with your friends, or even create a reaction video to your favourite TikToks.
