How To Record Screen On iPhone SE?
Using your iPhone SE to record the screen in a video with sound and then sending it or uploading it to a platform like YouTube or social networks can be useful when performing a tutorial or demonstrating to an acquaintance how to use certain functions on your device.
It is quite common for us to record a video with the sound of a video that we have seen on Instagram, a phone call with a family member, a video chat (FaceTime) with an acquaintance for a souvenir, as evidence in court, or to use as a TikTok video.
The steps for recording this with your iPhone SE are as follows:
Step 1:
Initially, we will need to verify that our iPhone SE has the screen recording function enabled (if it does, we can proceed to Step 5). On your iPhone SE, you can find it under the Settings menu, which is a gear icon on the home screen.
Step 2:
The Control Center section is accessed by clicking the “Control Center” menu item and then “Customize controls”.
Step 3:
On the iPhone SE, the screen recording control appears as the first item within the “INCLUDE” section once the screen recording control is activated. To change the order in which it appears, click on the three horizontal lines to the right of the control and drag up or down. By clicking the red button on the left, we can also remove the control.
Step 4:
Adding activated controls is easy, click on the green “+” button to add them to the “MORE CONTROLS” section if they do not appear. Having completed this step, we are done with the iPhone SE setup.
Step 5:
If the video is not playing, swipe from the bottom upwards from the screen where the video should be playing. The way to start a video is to swipe down from the upper right corner of the screen where you want it to start (iPhone X, iPad with iOS 12).
Step 6:
When recording a video with your iPhone SE, press the recording icon, and then select the option that says, “Do not use a microphone”., The recording will begin after the 3-second countdown has ended, the top of the screen will be highlighted with a red line and the word “Recording” indicating that everything happening on it will be recorded.
For recording videos using the iPhone SE, you will need a microphone in addition to the iPhone’s sound, (for example, if you’d like to explain how to use an app to someone or to record a message while you record a video, press and hold the microphone button until it is activated or deactivated. Next, hit “Start recording” and a 3-second countdown will begin in which the message will be recorded.
Step 7:
Click on the red line at the top of the screen and select Stop from the status bar to stop the recording (Point 5 of this tutorial).
Step 8:
There will be a message at the top of the screen of your iPhone SE stating that the screen recording video has been saved to the “Photos” folder (formerly known as the Camera Roll).
In the Photos application, you will find your screen capture in the last position. If you would like to see or share it, you need to go to the Photos application.
A 64 GB 3 GB RAM, 128 GB 3 GB RAM, and 256 GB 3 GB RAM iPhone SE can store screen recordings as video files.
