Steps
Open Settings and tap Control Center. Find Screen Recording in the list of more controls and tap the green plus button next to it so it moves to the included controls.
Open Control Center: swipe down from the top right corner on newer iPhones, or swipe up from the bottom on models with a home button.
Long press the Screen Recording button, which looks like a circle inside a circle. A small menu opens with a Microphone option.
Tap Microphone so it turns on if you want your voice and surrounding sound in the recording. App audio is captured automatically either way.
Tap Start Recording and wait for the three second countdown. A red bar appears at the top of the screen while recording runs.
To stop, tap the red bar at the top or open Control Center and tap the red recording button, then tap Stop.
Open the Photos app and go to Albums, then Media Types, then Screen Recordings. The newest clip sits at the end of the list.
Tap Edit on a clip to trim it. Drag the yellow handles at each end of the timeline, then tap Done and choose Save Video or Save as New Clip.
If an app shows a black or blank recording, that app blocks screen capture. Close it and record a different way, since there is no setting to override this.
Tips and common mistakes
Turn on Do Not Disturb before you start so incoming call and message banners stay out of your recording.
Use headphones if you want your voice on the microphone track without the speaker audio bleeding back in.
Silent mode does not mute the microphone, so your voice is still recorded even with the ring switch flipped.
Long recordings take up a lot of storage, so check your free space before capturing a long session.
Questions
Does screen recording capture sound on iPhone?
Yes. Sound played by the app or video is recorded automatically. Turn on the Microphone toggle in the Screen Recording menu if you also want your voice and room noise.
Where do screen recordings get saved?
They save straight to the Photos app. Look under Albums, then Media Types, then Screen Recordings, or just check Recents.
Why is my screen recording black or silent?
Some apps, such as banking and streaming services, block screen capture and show a blank video. Others mute their audio during recording. Nothing in Settings can override this.
