That’s it. Now come out of Settings and swipe upwards to bring up the Control Center. At the bottom left there will be a record button. You can tap on it to record the screen. After a 3 second timer, the screen will start getting recorded which is indicated by a red bar at the top.
To stop the recording, you can either use the screen record button in the Control Center or tap on the red bar at the top and select Stop on the pop-up box.
The video is saved in the Photos app once it is completed.
The microphone is turned off by default which means that there will no sound recorded in the screen recording video. If you wish to record audio along with screen recording then there’s one more thing you need to do.
