Knowing how to screen record on your iPhone 10 XR is a valuable skill, whether you're creating tutorials, capturing gameplay, or demonstrating app features. This guide outlines several trusted methods to help you master screen recording on your iPhone 10 XR.
Method 1: Using the Built-in Screen Recording Feature (iOS 12 and later)
This is the simplest and most convenient method. Your iPhone 10 XR, running iOS 12 or later, has a native screen recording function.
Steps:

- Tap to Start Recording: Tap the icon to begin recording. A small red bar at the top of your screen will appear indicating that recording is in progress.
- Stop Recording: Tap the red bar, or tap the screen recording icon in Control Center again, to end your recording. Your video will be automatically saved to your Photos app.

Method 3: Third-Party Apps (Proceed with Caution)
