How to enable screen recording in iOS 11

This tutorial is too easy and not too tedious because I tried this on an iPhone 7 Plus and an iPhone 6s running the latest iOS 11 beta 1 for developers, so this should work for you too.

The screen recording feature is built right into the iOS 11’s Control Center. By default, this toggle doesn’t show up, and therefore, you have to add it to the Control Center before you can start using this feature.

You’ll start and stop your recordings from Control Center. First, we’ll enable the button, then explain what happens when you press it.

  1. Launch the Settings app in iOS 11.
  2. Tap Control Center.
  3. Tap the plus sign next to Screen Recording to add it to your Include list if it’s not there already.

Once you have enabled Screen Recording in the Control Center as instructed above, you can swipe up from the bottom of your iPhone to invoke the Control Center. You should notice that there’s a toggle for screen recording, as shown in the screenshot below. Tap on it once, in order to start recording whatever you want.

While it’s recording, the screen record icon will be red and a blue bar will be displayed at the top of the screen which shows the elapsed time. If you want to stop recording, you can either tap this blue bar and press “Stop” or tap on the toggle again.

iPhone 6s/6s Plus or iPhone 7/7 Plus, allow you to make use of the 3D Touch feature that’s available for the screen recording toggle. You can force touch on the toggle, in order to enable or disable your device’s microphone audio. So, if you want to record something with your voice, you can certainly do that.

You can access the recorded video file in Photos App. In this app, you can edit and even crop out the unnecessary portions of the recorded video. This is pretty important, as every single recording starts with your Control Center.

Screen recording tips

  1. Screen recording on iOS 11 records everything you do, it’ll also capture those moments when you close Control Center or stop a recording. To make your videos look a professional, be sure to trim the first and last few seconds of the video in the Photos app.
  2. Another potential annoyance in screen recording will be push notifications doing the recording. Turn on Do Not Disturb, or set your device into AirPlane Mode to put those on pause and stop visual interruptions in your recording.
  3. When you start a screen recording on your iOS device, it’ll also capture your current status bar. That means low battery levels, and low-signal strength as well. If you want to go for a clean look of 100% battery and full signal, your best option is to plug it into your Mac.

The instructions listed here is to follow, as if you were going to record on your Mac, but start the recording from your iOS device instead. Using this approach will make iOS show your battery as 100%, full carrier signal, etc. If you’re going through this much effort though, it might just be easier to record and edit after on your Mac.
