Prior to iOS 11, the only way to record your iPhone’s screen was to hook up the device to a Mac and use Quick Time Player to record.\u00a0 You could have also used an unofficial app like AirShour, but that required complicated installation.<\/p>\n

With iOS11 Apple has its own official native screen recording tool. iOS 11’s\u00a0 “Screen Recording” tool, doesn’t just record video of your iPhone’s screen, but can also record audio and voice-overs. After recording, the video will be saved to your Photos app.<\/p>\n

The Screen Recording tool can be found as a control option from the Control Center and not as an app. This is similar to the iPhone Flashlight tool. Before you can use it, the Screen Recording tool must first be enabled and added to our Control Center so let’s get started.<\/p>\n
