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 be 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.

Screen Record With Record It!:: Screen Recorder
The native iOS screen recorder feature is great as it allows you to easily capture screen recordings without any hassle. However, if you’re looking for another way to screen record on your iPhone, you can use 3rd party app such as Record It!:: Screen Recorder.
Available for free on the App Store, Record It!:: Screen Recorder allows you to screen record with audio and save those recordings to your phone with ease.
Here’s how to do it:
- Go to the app store and install Record It!:: Screen Recorder.
- After you’ve installed the app, open it and tap the record button to begin your recording.
- Next, you’ll see a pop-up that states that everything on your screen will be recorded. On this page, you’ll also see the microphone icon, it’ll be automatically off, tap it to turn it on. Afterward, tap Start Broadcast to begin the screen recording.
- Screen recorders are great for saving Instagram stories and that’s what I used this one to do. You can do it too by opening Instagram and viewing the story while the screen recorder is running.
- Once you’re finished, tap the red bar at the top of the screen and tap Stop to end the screen recording.
- Once you’re finished, open the Record It!:: Screen Recorder app and tap My Recordings to view your screen recordings. Screen recordings from a 3rd party app are often saved to the app and not automatically saved to your camera roll. Therefore, you have to save them.
- From the list of screen recordings, open the one you want to save.
- Tap Share and then save to camera roll to save it to your camera roll. There you have it, you’ve successfully screen-recorded video with audio on your iPhone.
