Turn on iOS’s screen recording feature and keep a video of whatever is displayed on your screen.
Since iOS 11, the iPhone and the iPad have integrated a feature offering the possibility of video recording everything that happens on the screen. Ideal in particular for recording your games of video games, recording the screen in iOS also makes it possible to record sound.
The feature, which can only be accessed from the Control Center, is not enabled by default, however. Here’s how to activate and use it.
1. Open Settings
Go to iOS Settings, enter the Control Center menu, then navigate to the Customize Controls section.
2. Activate Screen Recording
Scroll through all the displayed options, then in Other Controls, press the + button next to Screen Recording.
If necessary, move the function using the handle on the right to change the location of the screen recording module in the Control Center.
3. Start screen recording
Now deploy the iOS Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen on iPhone 7 and 8, and swiping down from the top right corner on iPhone X and higher and iPads.
Then press and hold the record button to bring up the options. If you wish, it is possible during the recording of the screen, to capture the audio at the same time by activating the microphone.
Be careful, however, audio recording may not work in some applications. Also note that when no sound is played by an application, it is the sound picked up by the microphone of the iPhone or iPad that will be recorded.
Then start screen recording by pressing Start recording. Once all the desired items are recorded, you can stop screen recording by directly tapping the red status bar displayed at the top of the screen and then tapping Stop.
Your device’s screen video recording is automatically saved in the iOS Photos app.
