How to Screen Record on iPhone (4 Methods)
Being the industry leader, Apple does things a little differently. While Apple iPhones have everything a user can ask for in a smartphone, sometimes a few iPhone features are hidden. Meaning, features are there, but you have to go the extra mile to find and enable them. For instance, taking a screenshot on your iPhone is pretty simple, but starting a screen recording on your iPhone can get tricky for new users. Fortunately, the task of screen recording on an iPhone is as easy as making a phone call or taking a screenshot, only if you know the right process to enable it. In this article, we have explained how to screen record on your iPhone and edit & share the recorded clips once they are saved.
If all you need is a decent screen recorder for your iOS device, you don’t need to look anywhere else but the built-in screen recorder. Aside from letting yourecord audio on your iPhone, the native screen recorder also enables you to broadcastthird-party apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and more.

How to Record Screen on iPhone and iPad Using Mac
QuickTime Player for macOS has long been a proficient tool for recording iPhone screens. So, if you have a Mac and want to make the most of this powerful app, it would be a better choice for multiple reasons. First and foremost, it does not show the “Red” recording button to ensure your video looks professional. Furthermore, it allows you to record the screen in higher quality which can come in super handy when creating presentations or guides.
-
To get started, connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac and launchQuickTime Player.

Record Screen on iPhone and iPad Using Windows PC
Recording the iPhone screen on PC is a bit tedious affair due to the fact that QuickTime Player doesn’t support Windows. Hence, you will need to rely on third-party tools to record the screen of your iOS device on a Windows PC.
For this purpose, I would recommend you check a couple of reliable tools called“LonelyScreen” and “AirServer”. If you are looking for a free tool that can let you record the screen of your device, go for LonelyScreen. However, if you want more control and to record the screen in rich quality, AirServer should be a better pick.
We have created a separateguide for recording iPhone screen on Windows. So, be sure to check the guide if your need demands it.
Best Third-Party Screen Recorder for iPhone and iPad
App Store is loaded with a ton of screen recorders for iPhone and iPad. However, in my testing, I find Record it! the best third-party app to record screen on iPhone.
What makes it stand out is an impressive roster of editing tools that you can use to adjust the playback speed, trim your video, change the background color, and even rotate your clip. What’s more, it also has a pretty solid collection of pro-grade filters that can let you adorn your videos with ease. Once the editing is done, you can share your video directly to YouTube or other supported platforms.
Install:(Free, pro-version is available for $4.99)
So that’s how you can record the screen on your iPhone using different but easy methods. While the videos recorded by the built-in screen recorder serve the purpose, we have also stated other methods for users looking to go the extra mile with the recorded clips.
Your iPhone might have restrictions enabled that prevent it from initiating screen recording. Follow these steps to fix this –1. Open“Settings”on your iPhone, and locate & tap the“Screen Time”tab in the settings menu.2. Now, open“Content & Privacy Restrictions”and tap“Content Restrictions”to see the complete list of restrictions that can be allowed or denied.3. Here, scroll down until you find“Screen Recoding,”and allow it if it isn’t already.
It may be because you haven’t yet turned on the mic in screen recordings, and if you have already, it may be because some apps do not have microphone access.
