So here’s how to screen record on iPhone.

Setting up screen recording on iPhone

Although screen recording is a simple and straight forward process, you need to add the screen recording icon to the Control Center on your iPhone.  To enable screen recording, navigate to Settings > Control
Center > Customize Controls. Tap the plus icon (+) next to Screen Recording. A Screen Record icon should now be available in the Control Center, and you
can find it by swiping up from the bottom of the screen, or swiping down from the top right edge if you are runningiPhone 11 iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR
oriPhone 11 Pro Max

The steps given in this guide will also work for iPad and iPod Touch.

Now you’re ready to start recording.

Recording your iPhone screen

Here is how to record screen on iPhone

2. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to find the recording icon. If you haveiPhone X or later, or have an iPad running iOS 12 or later, you need to swipe down from the upper right corner of the screen to find the recording icon instead.

4. After a three second countdown, the Record icon will change to red and it will start recording your iPhones screen, even if you navigate away from the Control Center. You’ll know
   Recording is still in progress because the icon , displayed in the upper left hand corner, will be red.
5. When you are finished recording, tap the red icon at the top left of the screen and then tap “Stop.”to stop recording. The recording will be saved in the photos app.

Locating and editing your recording

Once you are through with recording, you may want to edit the captured video. Apple’s Photos app makes it pretty simple to edit video.
Your new recording will be saved in the Camera App on your iPhone. To view it, launch the Photos app and the recorded video will be the most recent item.
Editing a screen recording is the same as editing any other video in the Photos app.
You can edit the beginning or end part of your recording. You can trim the video and save it as a different clip. It won’t have any effect on the original video, however, you will get an
fine tuned version that you can send anywhere you want.
To edit a screen recording, do the following:

1. Locate the video in the camera roll of your iPhone and tap on it.
2. Tap “ Edit.”
3. Tap and drag the arrow at the beginning of the video to the right. It will turn into a yellow frame.
4. Size the frame to trim the video down to just the section you want to retain. You can hit play at any given point to make sure you are satisfied with the output.
5. Hit “Done” and then tap “Save as New Clip.”

That’s pretty much it! Happy recording.
