Though some newer devices may automatically come with screen recording in the iPhone control center, users whose devices do not can add them via the iPhone’s settings.

Once Screen Recording is added to the iPhone control center, users can begin screen recording directly from there.

Screen recordings automatically save to the photo library on iPhones if there is available storage.

To enable screen recording, go to Settings, navigate to Content and Privacy Restrictions, select Content Restrictions, click on Screen Recording and opt to Allow. To add Screen Recording to the control center on an iPhone, go to Settings, navigate to the Control Center, enable Access Within Apps and select the circled, green addition sign next to Screen Recording. From there, users will be able to go directly to the control center—which is accessible by lightly sliding down in the upper right corner of the iPhone—and screen record by clicking the screen recording icon—which is indicated by a recording symbol.

To screen record on iPhone, go to the control center and select the screen recording icon. Users are given three seconds before recording—indicated by a highlighted and blinking recording symbol—begins. Users should click that same icon to stop recording. Turn on the iPhone’s ringer to ensure the screen recording picks up sound from the screen. To add a voiceover to the screen recording, enable the microphone by pressing down on the screen recording icon and selecting the microphone icon once it appears.
