Record the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

In Control Center, you can start a screen recording and capture sound on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

How to record your screen

Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen.
Tap the gray Record button, then wait for the three-second countdown. If you don't see the Record button, add it to your Control Center.
Exit Control Center to record your screen.
To stop recording, tap the Screen Recording button at the top of your screen, then tap the Stop button. Or open Control Center and tap the red Record button.

To find your recording, open the Photos app and select your screen recording in your Library.

Some apps might not allow you to record audio or video. You can't record your screen and use screen mirroring at the same time.
