Record video
If you want to record a video with your iPhone but you don't have the faintest idea how to do it, know that to succeed in your intent you just need to use the app Camera integrated in iOS. This is the application that Apple has included in all its iDevices and thanks to which it is possible to take photos and record videos in a very simple and fast way.
To use it, first start the application by pressing on its icon on the home screen (the one with the gray background depicting a camera). Once the app is launched, swipe the display to select the option Video, Slo-mo o Time-Lapese depending on the final result you want to obtain, choose (if possible) whether to use the front or rear camera by pressing the appropriate button with the camera and arrows and indicates whether you want to use the flash or not (always if the option is available).
Then start the recording by pressing on red circular button which is below. If you deem it appropriate, during the recording phase you can also zoom in on what you are framing by placing two fingers on the display and making an opening or closing movement (pinch to zoom) depending on whether you intend to enlarge or reduce the subject of the video. If you want, during the recording you can also take pictures by pressing on white circular button bottom left.
You can stop recording by tapping the red circular button again. To play the video recorded with iPhone you will then need to log in to the app Gallery, tap on the preview of the movie made and press the button Play present in the center of the screen.
If you want, you can also share the recorded video by pressing the appropriate button for the sharing (the one with the square and the arrow) and choosing one of the available options and / or modify it by pressing on the item Modification and using the tools visible on the screen. In the event that after having registered the video obtained is not to your liking, simply tap on the icon in the shape of a basket I will select the voice Delete video to delete it.
Finally, I point out that if you want you can also act on the iOS settings to adjust the recording quality of the movies. To do this, go to Settings by pressing on the relative icon (the one in the shape of a gear) on the home screen, tap on the item Photo and camera, scroll the displayed screen and locate the section Camera. Therefore, he presses on his voice Register video and select the option you prefer among those listed. By tapping on the wording instead Record slow motion you can change the settings related to shooting in the aforementioned mode.
Record the screen
If, on the other hand, you are interested in understanding how to record the iPhone screen, perhaps because you want to show a remote friend the execution of a certain operation or because you want to "resume" one of your game sessions, all you have to do is is that you rely on the special function included in iOS starting from version 11 of the platform.
To use it, first call the Control Center by swiping from the bottom to the top of the screen and then tap on the button with the symbol REC (the circular one with the dot in the center).
If you can't see the button to start recording in the control center it's most likely because you have yet to add it. To do this, go to the home screen, press on Settings, Then Control Center and subsequently on Customize controls then press the button + (plus symbol) that you find next to the wording Screen recording.
After enabling the function, a quick countdown will start, the previously pressed button will become colored and the recording of your iPhone screen will start.
Then exit the control center by making a further swipe (this time from top to bottom) and perform all the operations you intend to perform during recording. Meanwhile, you'll see a appear at the top of the screen red bar indicating, precisely, the fact that the recording of what happens on the mobile phone screen is in progress.
Then when you deem it appropriate, you can interrupt the recording by pressing on the aforementioned red bar and then on the button Stop. Screen recording is also automatically stopped when the iPhone display freezes.
All recordings made will be saved in the album Video app Gallery of the iPhone to which you can eventually access immediately by pressing the appropriate notification that you will see appear in the upper part of the display once registration is complete.
If, on the other hand, there is a version of iOS installed prior to 11 on your iPhone, I'm sorry to tell you, but there are no concrete alternatives to record the screen due to Apple's restrictive policies regarding the admission of apps used for this purpose on the App Store. . However, if you have submitted your device to the jailbreak, you can remedy this by turning to AnteRec, a free tweak available on Cydia specially used for this purpose. For more info, read my article on how to record the iPhone screen through which I proceeded to talk to you in depth about the matter.
Record a voice memo
If you are interested in understanding how to record with iPhone by creating a voice memo you can easily succeed in your intent by using the app Voice memos, also available “standard” on iOS.

Once the main screen of the app is displayed, presses on red button placed in the center. Once this is done, the recording will start together with the timer indicating the duration of the memo and you will see the progress bar above it scrolling with the vocal frequencies attached.
