Screen recording is one of those features that feels like magic. Whether you’re capturing a memorable moment in a game, saving a video call with a loved one, or creating a tutorial for your followers, the iPhone 16 makes it incredibly easy to record your screen. If you’re new to this or just need a refresher, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. Let’s walk through the process step by step, so you can start screen recording like a pro.
Before diving into screen recording, ensure your iPhone 16 is running the latest version of iOS. Apple often introduces new features and improvements with updates, so staying current ensures you have access to the best tools. To check for updates:
- Open Settings > General > Software Update If an update is available, follow the prompts to install it.
Add Screen Recording to Your Control Center
The Screen Recording feature is accessed through the Control Center, but it might not be there by default. Here’s how to add it:
- Open Settings > Control Center > Look for Screen Recording
- If it’s not already under “Included Controls,” tap the green + button next to it to add it.
Access the Control Center
Once Screen Recording is added to your Control Center, you’re ready to use it. To open the Control Center:
- On iPhone 16, swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen (where the battery icon is). This will bring up the Control Center with all your shortcuts.
Start Recording Your Screen
Now for the fun part—actually recording your screen:
- In the Control Center, tap the Screen Recording button (it looks like a circle inside a circle). A three-second countdown will begin, giving you time to navigate to the screen you want to record.
- Once the countdown ends, your iPhone will start recording everything on your screen. You’ll see a red bar or a red dot at the top of your screen to indicate that recording is in progress.
Customize Your Recording (Optional)
Did you know you can also record audio while screen recording? Here’s how:
- Before starting the recording, press and hold the Screen Recording button in the Control Center.
- A menu will pop up with a microphone icon. Tap it to turn it on if you want to include your voice or other sounds in the recording.
- Tap Start Recording to begin.
Step 6: Stop the Recording
When you’re done recording:
- Tap the red bar or dot at the top of your screen.
- A confirmation message will appear asking if you want to stop the recording. Tap Stop.
- Your recording will automatically save to your Photos app.
Step 7: Find and Edit Your Recording
After stopping the recording, you can find it in the Photos app under the Recents album. From there, you can:
- Trim the video to remove unwanted parts.
- Share it directly to social media, messaging apps, or cloud storage.
- Use editing tools to enhance the recording if needed.
