Note: I’ve opted out of those solutions that are either illegal or insecure (which require iOS jailbreaking), or contain vulnerabilities that jeopardize your device security. My goal is simple - saving you the time exploring so you can allocate more time to focus on the video editing part. In this guide, I’ll share with you five methods on how to screen record an iPhone or iPad, and I’ll also point out the pros and cons of each method.

I’ve explored a dozen solutions while working on an app demo project, and during the process, I’ve learned a lot about the solutions and options available. You’ll have to rely on a computer to capture moving activities on your device. Why? Because iOS or iPadOS didn’t make it easy for you to do so ( before iOS 11). But, what if you want to capture on-screen activities on your iPhone or iPad? That can be a different story.

It’s quite easy to record screen video on a computer, as you can find a handful of free and paid screen recording software out there.
