Taking screenshots on your iPhone nowadays just doesn’t cut the mustard. Today, many users require a screen recording instead as it offers a much better way of providing visual data rather than 30 screenshots. Lets learn how to screen record on iPhone!

Thankfully, Apple has made this easy on iPhones with the screen recording feature. You can now record your favourite YouTube clips, mobile gaming moments or errors for reporting right from your phone. No longer do you need to record your phone with another phone. New times ahead!

I’ve also put this post on my website in case you prefer reading over there!

Requirements

Since this feature was introduced into iOS 11, you’ll need that version or later in order to record your screen.

It kinda goes without saying, but you’ll also have to make sure you have enough free space on your device to save the recording.

Oh, and you might run into issues when recording sensitive applications. For example, whenever I try to screen record whilst opening my banking application, the recording turns black. This is a security feature, and a very welcome one from Apple.
