How to screen record on iPhone 14 Pro step by step

This section will guide you through the exact process of capturing video of your phone screen. We will start by making sure the right button is available to you. Then we will go through the motions of starting and stopping the recording.

Step 1: Go to your Settings app and tap on Control Center

You need to make sure the recording tool is ready to use. Open the main Settings app on your home screen. Scroll down a little bit until you see the words Control Center.

Tap on that option to open a new menu. This menu controls what shortcuts appear when you swipe down from the top of your screen. You want to customize these controls to fit your needs.

Step 2: Add the Screen Recording control to your active list

Look at the list of included controls at the top of the page. If you see Screen Recording there with a red minus sign, you can skip this step. If you do not see it, scroll down to the section labeled More Controls.

Find Screen Recording in that lower list. Tap the green plus sign next to it. This action moves it to the top list and makes it active.

Step 3: Open the Control Center by swiping down from the top right

Now you need to exit the Settings app. Go back to your home screen or the app you want to record. Place your finger on the battery icon in the top right corner.

Swipe your finger down toward the bottom of the screen. This gesture reveals the Control Center overlay. You should see several icons for things like volume, brightness, and Wi-Fi.

Step 4: Tap the Screen Recording button to begin the capture

Locate the new icon you just added. It looks like a small solid dot surrounded by a circle. Tap this button once.

You will see a countdown appear inside the icon. It counts down from three, two, one. Once the countdown finishes, the icon turns red.

This means the recording has officially started. Everything you do on the screen is now being filmed.

Step 5: Stop the recording using the Dynamic Island or Control Center

When you are done capturing your content, look at the top of your screen. On the iPhone 14 Pro, you will see a red pill shape in the Dynamic Island. Tap on that red shape.

A prompt will appear asking if you want to stop recording. Tap Stop to finish the video. Alternatively, you can swipe down to open the Control Center again and tap the red recording button to stop it.

Once you stop the recording, a notification will pop up at the top of the screen. This notification tells you that the screen recording video was saved to Photos. You can tap on this banner to view the video immediately. If you miss the banner, you can simply open your Photos app later to find the clip in your library.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I record the internal audio of the app I am using?

Yes, the iPhone automatically records the internal audio of the system. This means if you are recording a game or a video, that sound will be in your recording. It captures exactly what you hear through the speakers.

How long can I screen record on my iPhone?

There is no specific time limit set by Apple for screen recordings. You are only limited by the amount of battery life you have left and the storage space on your device. Very long videos may take a long time to save.

Why is there no sound in my screen recording?

If your phone is on silent mode, sometimes the internal audio might not capture properly in certain apps. Also, make sure you did not accidentally cover the microphone if you were trying to record your voice. Check the volume levels on the video playback as well.

Where do the screen recordings go after I stop?

All screen recordings are saved directly to your Photos app. They behave just like any other video you take with your camera. You can find them in your Recent album or under the Media Types section labeled Screen Recordings.

Can I record a phone call or FaceTime?

You can record the screen during a call, but usually, the audio from the other person will not be recorded. This is a privacy feature included by Apple. You will likely only capture the video portion of the FaceTime call without the conversation.
