Taking a screenshot – a single still image of your device's screen, whether it is an – iPhone, Mac computer, or Apple Watch – is pretty easy. But if you're using an iPhone or iPad and wondering how to record your screen, the process might not be so obvious.

Luckily, taking a screen recording — a video of your iPhone or iPad's screen — is just as easy as traking a screenshot, once you know how to enable it.

Here's how to screen record on your iPhone or iPad, and then find the video once it's saved.

How to allow screen recordings on your iPhone and iPad

Before you can record your screen, you'll need to turn on the screen recording feature.

1. Open the Settings app and then tap Control Center.

2. Find Screen Recording. If it isn't already in the section labeled Included Controls, scroll down to the "More Controls" and tap the green plus sign next to it. You should see it move to the Included Controls section.

You’ll find the screen recording option in the “More Controls” section if it’s disabled. Stefan Ionescu

How to screen record on your iPhone and iPad

Once you've turned the feature on, taking a screen recording is as easy as pressing a button.

1. Open Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen — or, if you have a home button, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.

2. Tap the Record button.

3. After a three-second countdown, the Record button will turn red and it will record everything you do, even if you close the Control Center. You'll know you're still recording because the time, shown in the upper left corner, will be red.

4. To stop recording, tap the red time indicator at the top left of the screen and then tap "Stop." You can also open the Control Center and tap the record button again.

5. By default, your screen recording will just include the audio coming out of your iPhone or iPad. If you want to narrate your screen recording, press and hold your finger on the record button, and you'll be given the option to turn on your microphone.

How to find or edit your screen recording

Your new recording will appear in the Camera Roll. To see it, open the Photos app and it should be the newest item. From here, you can share or edit it like any other photo or video.

If you're a perfectionist, you might want to trim the start or end of your video. You can edit the video and save it as a new clip – it won't affect the original video, but will give you an edited version you can share.

1. Find the video in the Photos app and tap it.

2. Tap Edit on the top right of the screen.

3. At the bottom of the screen, tap and drag the arrow at the very start of the video to the right. It will become a yellow frame.

4. Size the frame to trim the video down to just the part you want to keep. You can press play at any time to ensure you like the edit.

5. Tap Done and then tap Save as New Clip.
