Accessing the Screen Recording Feature
The iPhone 11's screen recording functionality is built right into the Control Center. This means no extra downloads or installations are required. To access it:

Look for the Screen Recording icon. It typically looks like a circle with a filled-in circle inside. If you don't see it, you'll need to add it to your Control Center (see next section).
-
Tap the Screen Recording icon. A three-second countdown will begin before recording commences. You'll see a red bar at the top of your screen indicating that the recording is active.
Adding Screen Recording to Your Control Center (If Needed)
If the screen recording icon isn't already in your Control Center, here's how to add it:

Stopping Your Screen Recording
To stop recording, simply:

Tap the red bar at the top of your screen indicating that the recording is in progress.
Your recording will automatically be saved to your Photos app.
