To learn how to use the Screen Record feature for yourself, follow these steps!
Step 1: Activate Screen Record
If your Screen Record feature is already activated, you can just skip this step completely. If not, follow these steps to activate it.

- Once there, go through the menu until you see the Control Center section.
- Click on it and then click on Customize controls.
- In the Customize Controls menu, you will see lots of things such as Torch, Low Power Mode, and of course, Screen Record. You can change the order of these features however you wish.
- If the Screen Record feature does not appear here, simply click on ‘More Controls’. Click on the green ‘+’ and this will add Screen Record to your controls menu.
- Once you have done this, Screen Record will be activated and you can move on to the next step.
Step 2: Swipe From The Upper Right Corner
If the Screen Record feature was already activated, begin with this step and ignore Step 1. Once the Screen Record feature is activated, you simply need to choose the screen or window in which you want to screen record.
Once you have done this, swipe down from the upper right corner. This will bring up your Controls Menu.
Step 3: Set Up Your Screen Recorder
There are a couple of different options when it comes to recording your screen on an iPhone 12 Pro Max. If you want to record the screen without recording any sound, simply press the recording icon.
Then, a 3-second countdown will begin, and after the countdown is done, the recording will begin.
A red line will appear on the top of your screen and the word “Recording” will also appear. Your screen will now record everything that is happening.
If you want to record your screen with sound, press and hold the microphone button that will appear and then start your recording once the microphone has been activated.
A red line will also appear for this option and the word “Recording” again. Your screen will now record everything that is happening as well as any sound.
Step 4: Stopping Your Recording
Once you are happy with your recording and you are ready to switch it off, all you have to do is open the Controls menu again (the same way you did in step 2) and press the ‘Stop Recording’ button.
Alternatively, you can simply click on the red line at the top of the screen and press ‘Stop’.
Step 5: Saved To Photos
As soon as you have stopped recording, a message will appear at the top of your iPhone 12 Pro Max screen that tells you the screen recording has been saved to your photos (previously known as Camera Roll).
In order to see your screen recording or share it, you simply need to go to the Photos App and it should be there for you to view and share.
