How to Screen Record on iPhone 13: Capturing what's happening on your screen is a useful method
to preserve important instances during your game sessions, showcase actions on
your iPhone, or troubleshoot software and websites. This piece offers a clear
guide on how to record your iPhone 13 screen with easy steps.
Does iPhone 13 Have
Screen Recording?
Screen recording is available on all iPhones with iOS 14 and
later. This functionality comes built-in with iOS, eliminating the need for
third-party apps. However, it's important to note that there isn't a separate
app for screen recording; instead, it's a feature accessible through Control
Center, as we'll discuss.
How Do I Screen Record
on My iPhone 13?
To capture your iPhone 13 screen, follow these steps:
Initially, you'll want to include the Screen Recording button
in Control Center. To achieve this, navigate to Settings > Control Center,
and tap the '+' symbol next to Screen Recording.
Following that, access the app or activity you wish to
capture, and swipe to unveil Control Center.
To promptly initiate the recording, tap the screen recording
icon (depicted as a solid dot encircled by a circle). (Jump to step 7.)
To activate the microphone and determine the recording's
storage location, press and hold the screen recording icon.
If you've tapped and held the screen recording icon, a new
screen will appear, allowing you to manage recording settings.
Firstly, if multiple apps on your iPhone can store the screen
recording, select the desired app by tapping it.
By default, the iPhone's microphone is inactive during screen
recordings, but you can activate it to add audio commentary. Toggle the
microphone icon to turn it on.
Tap 'Start Recording.' A 3-second countdown timer initiates.
When the timer concludes, the recording begins.
To conclude the screen recording, open Control Center and tap
the screen recording icon again. (If you're utilizing the Screen Recording
controls as in step 5, tap 'Stop Recording' as demonstrated here.)
As a default, screen recording videos are stored in the
Videos album within the Photos app that comes pre-installed. If you opted for a
different app in step 5, search for your screen recording video there.
