1. Adding Screen Recording to Control Center

Before you can use the screen recorder, you need to add it to your Control Center. Here’s how:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap Control Center.
3. Under More Controls, look for Screen Recording (it has a circle inside a circle icon).
4. Tap the green plus (+) button next to it to add it to your Included Controls list.

Now, the screen recorder will appear in your Control Center whenever you swipe down from the top-right corner (or up from the bottom on older iPhones).

2. Using the Screen Recorder

Once you’ve added it, here’s how to start recording:

1. Open Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner (or up from the bottom on older models).
2. Tap the Screen Recording button (the circle inside a circle).
3. A 3-second countdown will start and your screen recording begins immediately after.
4. To stop recording, tap the red status bar at the top of your screen, then tap Stop.

Your recording will automatically save to your Photos app.

3. Recording with Microphone Audio (Optional)

If you want to record your voice or external audio while screen recording:

1. Open Control Center.
2. Press and hold the Screen Recording button.
3. Tap the Microphone button to turn it on (it will turn red when active).
4. Tap Start Recording – now your voice will be captured along with the screen.

4. Finding Your Recordings

All screen recordings are saved in:

• The Photos app – Albums – Screen Recordings.

You can edit, share, or delete them just like any other video.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If the screen recorder doesn’t appear, double-check that you added it correctly in Settings > Control Center.
