Steps
Check that your phone has a screen recorder. On iPhone, look in Settings, Control Center. On Android, swipe down twice from the top and look for a Screen recorder tile.
On iPhone, open Settings, Control Center, tap the plus button next to Screen Recording so the button appears in Control Center.
On Android, if you cannot find the tile, swipe down twice, tap the pencil or edit icon, then drag Screen recorder into your quick settings.
Start the WhatsApp video call first and wait until the other person answers and the picture is stable.
Open the screen recorder. On iPhone, swipe down for Control Center and tap the circle record button. On Android, tap the Screen recorder tile.
Turn on sound. On Android choose Media sounds, or Media sounds and mic. On iPhone, press and hold the record button and tap the microphone icon so it is no longer crossed out.
Tap Start and keep the WhatsApp call on screen. Do not switch apps or lock the phone, or the recording may stop or show a blank screen.
Stop the recording when the call ends. Tap the red bar or timer at the top of the screen, or open the notification shade and tap Stop.
Find the file in Photos or Gallery, or in your Files app under Screen recordings. Play it back and check that you can hear both voices.
If the sound is missing, record again with the microphone option turned on and the call on speaker at full volume.
Tips and common mistakes
Ask the other person before you record. Many places require their permission, and WhatsApp itself has no recording button.
IPhone screen recording usually captures only your microphone, not the other person's voice directly, so put the call on speaker and raise the volume.
Some Android phones stop or mute the recording when a call connects. Do a 20 second test call first.
Turn on Do Not Disturb before you start so notifications do not pop up in the video.
Questions
Does WhatsApp tell the other person I am recording?
No. WhatsApp has no recording feature and sends no alert. Your phone's screen recorder is separate from the app, but you should still ask for permission first.
Why is my recording silent?
The recorder probably captured only media sounds, or the microphone was off. Record again with the mic enabled and the call on speaker.
Where is the recorded video saved?
On iPhone it goes to Photos. On Android it lands in Gallery or in your Files app inside a Screen recordings folder.
