How To Screen Record On IPhone 12

Have you ever tried to explain a problem you’re having with your phone to someone over the phone?

Let’s just say it can be frustrating for all involved, which is why we are going to show you how to screen record on your iPhone. After watching our video and using our written tutorial you will know how to share exactly what you are seeing on your phone’s screen with the person on the other end of the line.

Being able to record my iPhone screen allowed me to help my dad with his phone even though he lived 9 hours away, and let me tell ya’ll it was a blessing to both of us. Prior to being able to record our screens, my father, who had macular degeneration would try his best to explain what he was seeing on his phone but would often get very frustrated for obvious reasons. But that was no longer the case after we began screen recording. 🙂

Apple introduced the ability to screen record on iOS 11, so if you have iOS 11 or higher your phone should be capable of recording your screen. So the next time you’re having a hard time figuring something out on your iPhone and need help just record your screen and send the recording to someone who can help.

Let’s get this party started and learn how to record your iPhone’s screen.
