In an era where digital content creation and sharing are at their peak, knowing how to screen record on iPhone’s screen can be incredibly useful. Whether you’re looking to capture a fleeting moment on social media, demonstrate a bug, or even create your own custom iPhone ringtone from a YouTube video, screen recording on iOS devices is a feature you’ll find indispensable. This guide will walk you through the steps to easily set up and use screen recording on your iPhone, ensuring you’re well-equipped to capture whatever you need from your device’s screen.
Setting Up Screen Recording
Before you can start recording, you’ll need to add the Screen Recording feature to your Control Center for quick access. Here’s how:
- Open Settings: Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Navigate to Control Center: Scroll down and tap on “Control Center.” This is where you can customize which controls are available in the Control Center.
- Add Screen Recording: Find “Screen Recording” in the list of More Controls. Tap the green “+” icon next to it to add it to the Included Controls section.
With these steps, you’ve successfully added the screen recording feature to your Control Center, making it readily accessible whenever you need it.
By changing the order of where the iPhone screen recording icon is you can customize in control center where the icon is going to be which is similar to how you can organize your Home Screen in iOS with iPhone like you do on Android with widgets and more!
How to Start Recording
To begin recording your iPhone’s screen, follow these simple steps:
- Access Control Center:
- On iPhones with Face ID, swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen.
- On iPhones without Face ID, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.
- Start Recording: Look for the Screen Recording icon (it resembles a solid circle within a circular outline) and tap it. You’ll see a 3-second countdown, after which the recording will start.
Recording With Sound
If you’re looking to record sound along with your screen recording—perhaps for a tutorial or to capture the audio from a video—you can do so easily. Before starting the recording, press and hold the Screen Recording button in the Control Center. Here, you’ll see the option to turn the microphone on or off. With the microphone enabled, you’ll capture both internal audio and external sounds, such as your voice.
Advanced Features
The iOS Screen Recording tool isn’t just for capturing video. It offers several advanced features, including:
- Live Streaming: By pressing and holding the screen recording icon, you can access options to live stream to various platforms, including Streamlabs for gamers or directly to TikTok and YouTube Live. This feature is perfect for sharing your gaming sessions or creating live content directly from your iPhone.
- Custom Ringtones: If you’re interested in creating custom ringtones for your iPhone, you can use the screen recording feature to capture audio from videos. For a detailed guide on this process, check out the written guide on my website or the dedicated video on YouTube.
Saving Your Recordings

Limitations
It’s important to note that while the screen recording feature is incredibly versatile, certain apps may block the ability to record their content, such as the Disney+ app, for copyright reasons.
