Unlike Android devices, iPhone’s screen records have higher quality and you don’t need to download any third-party app just to do that one simple thing.
iPhone’s built-in screen recording feature is one of the best among the smartphone market.
In this post, however, we will show you a couple of ways to screen record on iPhone 13.
The first one is the easiest and probably the only way want to record the screen. The second one, on the other hand, is a bit complicated as we will be using a Mac together with the iPhone.
Setting up the screen recorder
To make it even easier to record your iPhone screen, you have to set up the screen recorder and make it visible on the Control Center.
That way, you simply have to pull down the Control Center and tap the recorder button.
Here’s how you do that:
Step 1: From the Home screen, find Settings and tap on it.
Step 2: Scroll a bit and tap Control center.
Step 3: Look for Screen Recording and tap the plus sign beside it.
It means that screen recording button is added to the Control Center so that you can access it easily.
Now that the feature can already be found among the options in the Control Center, you can screen record easily.
How to screen record on iPhone 13
Assuming you’ve already done the procedure above, what you need to do now is have a screen flow in mind so that you can record the screen without interruptions.
Here’s how you do it:
Step 1: Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen.
This will pull down the Control Center.
Step 2: Tap the Screen Recording icon.
The countdown timer will begin immediately after that.
Step 3: Close the Control Center and start recording the screen.
Depending on the content you want to do, this might take a few minutes.
Step 4: When you’re done screen recording, pull down the Control Center again.
Step 5: Tap the Screen Recording control to end the recording.
Depending on how long the screen recording video is, it might take several seconds before you can see the prompt telling you that the recorded video is saved in Photos.
Where to find the screen recordings?
The screen recordings can easily be found when using the Photos app as all images and videos are properly categorized or segregated.
And assuming you want to transfer the recorded videos, it will be a lot easier to just Airdrop them to your Mac. That’s the advantage if you’re using Apple devices.
However, if you’re using Windows or any other operating systems, you can physically connect your iPhone 13 to your computer using the original lightning cable.
And then, navigate to iPhone > DCIM. The videos are segregated by year and month (i.e. 202202_) so you can actually find them easily.
How to screen record using Mac
If you don’t mind going out of your comfort zone just to have a good screen recording, then you need to physically connect your iPhone 13 to your Mac.
You can actually record the screen of your iPhone right from your Mac with the use of QuickTime player.
This is how it’s done:
Step 1: Connect your iPhone to your Mac.
Make sure that both devices trust each other so that they can see and recognize each other.
Step 2: Launch the QuickTime player.
Step 3: Click File at the top-right corner of the screen, and select New Movie Recording.
Step 4: Hover the cursor at the center of the screen to find the record button.
Step 5: Click the little arrow next to the record button, and the select your iPhone.
Step 6: You can also set the quality to Maximum to have a better recording.
Step 7: When ready, click the Record button to start recording your iPhone’s screen.
Step 8: When finished, click the Stop button to stop recording.
IMPORTANT NOTE: At this point, the screen recording is NOT saved yet.
Step 9: Click File, and then select Save.
Step 10: Type the name you want to use, and choose the directory where you want to save your screen recordings.
And that’s it. All you need to do now is navigate to the directory to find the recording and you can copy it from there.
Whether you want to do it by tapping the screen recording shortcut in the Control Center or by using your Mac, it’s all up to you.
We hope that this simple tutorial can help you.
