Screen recording is a great way to create tutorial videos, share game strategies, or demonstrate anything else you can see on your screen. It’s also an incredibly useful tool for troubleshooting app bugs, software problems, and general user help issues. So how do you record your iPhone or iPad screen? Luckily, Apple makes it easy to record your iPhone or iPad screen with just a few taps. Let’s get started!
What you’ll need to record your iOS screen
The first thing you’ll need to record your iOS screen is an iOS device that comes with a built-in screen recorder. Unfortunately, you can’t record the screen of an iPhone 7 or newer, an iPad Pro (both 9.7 and 12.9), an iPad mini 4, an iPad Air 2, or an iPad mini 2. However, before you start cursing your device, Apple has an easy solution. There are many third-party apps that you can use to record your iPhone or iPad screen — whether you want to record a video or a GIF. Some of the most popular apps include:
– Screenflow ($99) – QuickTime – Reflector – Apowersoft Screen Recorder – iClarified
Record your iPhone or iPad screen – the easy way
If you’re using an iPhone or iPad that allows you to record your screen, then you can record your screen in just a few taps. Here’s how: – Open the app you want to screen record.
– Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button (on the top of your device) and the Home button (on the front of your device).
– Keep holding the buttons until you see the “Screen Recording” banner at the top of the screen. Tap the banner to start recording.
– Tap the banner again to stop recording. Congratulations! You’ve just recorded your first screen. But you probably want to know how to actually view your recording.
Here’s how to do that:
– Swipe down on your device’s Home screen.
– Tap the “Remind me” notification that appears at the top of the screen.
– Tap the “View Recording” button on the “Screen Recording” banner.
Record your iPhone or iPad screen – the harder way
If you’re using an iPhone or iPad that doesn’t allow you to record your screen, you can still do it, but it’s a little bit harder. You’ll need to use your computer, an app for your computer, or an app for a nearby Mac (if you’re near a Mac). First, you’ll need to download the app you want to record with. For example, Screenflow is a great video recording app that’s well-known for its ease of use. Now, follow these steps:
– Make sure that your iPhone or iPad is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.
– Open the app on your computer that you’re going to use to connect to your iPhone or iPad.
– Select your iPhone or iPad from the list of available devices.
– Tap the “Start” button to start recording.
– Tap the “Stop” button to stop recording. Congratulations! You’ve just recorded your first screen. Now you need to save it. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer.
