First up, head into the Settings app, then Control Centre, and scroll down to the list of functions under More Controls. Find Screen Recording and tap the little green ‘+’ symbol.

Screen Recording should now appear in the Included Controls section above. Exit out to the home screen.

You’ll now find that a Screen Recording shortcut has been placed on the drop-down Control Centre screen, accessed by dragging down from the top right of your iPhone’s screen. It’s the little circle-within-a-circle symbol at the bottom of this screen.

Now, whenever you want to record what’s on your screen, bring down the Control Centre and tap this button. After a three-second countdown, the recording will begin. Repeat this process to stop the recording.

To include sounds with your screen recording (think narration), bring down the Control Centre screen, and this time tap and hold on the Screen Recording button. Now tap the Microphone button to turn your iPhone’s mic on, followed by Start Recording to commence the three second countdown.

Tap anywhere on the screen to exit, and navigate to the section you wish to record. Note that the microphone will be active for all of your ensuing screen recordings from now on, so you’ll have to repeat this process to turn it off again.
