To record on an iPhone, there are two common methods depending on what you want to record: screen recording (video of your screen) and audio recording (voice or sounds).
How to Record Your iPhone Screen
- Open the Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner of the screen.
- If the screen recording button (a dot surrounded by a circle) is not visible, add it via Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls, then add "Screen Recording."
- Tap the screen recording button. A three-second countdown starts, then it begins recording everything on your screen.
- To record audio along with the screen, long-press the screen recording button in the Control Center and tap the microphone icon to toggle audio on/off.
- To stop recording, tap the red status bar or red icon at the top left of the screen and confirm to stop.
- The video is automatically saved to the Photos app where you can watch, edit, or share it.
How to Record Audio Only (Voice Memos)
- Open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone.
- Tap the red record button to begin recording audio via the built-in microphone.
- Tap stop when done. The recording is saved automatically and can be renamed or edited within the app.
These features are available on iPhones with iOS 11 or later and work similarly across recent iPhone models.
