In today’s world, screen recording can be a very useful feature for many, no matter what kind of iPhone they have. Luckily the iPhone has a built-in screen recording feature, which means you don’t need to download a third-party program. This feature allows you to record both video and audio on your iPhone. Moreover, you can record both internal and external sounds from the microphone.

What to do to screen record on iPhone 13

The built-in screen recording function works great. For many activities, it will be useful. Some people need to save important moments from games, record a video lesson, or troubleshoot a video. In this day and age of social networking, screen recording for many bloggers will be useful. In fact, screen recording is a snapshot of the screen in motion.

That is, recording everything you see on your screen is saved directly to a file. However, instead of a still image, it’s a video that’s saved to the Photos library.
Luckily, iPhones running iOS 11 or later offer built-in screen recording features. For some reason, many users are unaware of the hidden screen recording feature.

This is because, unlike the Clock and Calculator apps, there is no dedicated app on the Home screen to access the iPhone’s built-in screen recorder. Therefore, it’s not easy to figure out exactly how to turn on the screen recorder function.
