Apple launched the iPhone 14 series in September 2022. The Pro models of this line come packed with visual changes, particularly on the front-facing side. Users now can take advantage of an all-new Dynamic Island and the anticipated Always-On Display (AOD) feature. If you plan to buy an iPhone 14, you must be wondering -- how can I screenshot and screenrecord on this advanced smartphone? Worry not, we're here to help you figure this matter out. Here's how to screenshot and screenrecord on the Apple iPhone.

How to screenshot on an iPhone

Record your screen

After adding the shortcut, you begin by opening Control Center. On iPhones older than the iPhone X ($265 at Amazon), get there by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. On newer iPhones, swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen.

Tap on the Screen Recording button, which will prompt a countdown inside the button followed by it turning red to indicate to begin capturing whatever's on your display.

You'll know when your screen is being recorded because there will either be a red bar across the top of your screen (on older iPhones) or the time will have a red highlight behind it (on newer iPhones). Tap on the red button or bar to stop recording.

With a long-press, you can opt to turn on audio recording so you can narrate your video.

Spice up a recording with audio

What if you want to walk someone through how to use a feature or get past a bug you keep running into? Well, you can turn on your phone's microphone and have it record for as long as a screen-recording session is active.

To turn it on, open the Control Center and long-press on the Screen Recording button. A new menu will show up, with a toggle to turn your microphone on at the bottom. Tap on the Microphone Audio button, it will turn red and then select Start Recording.

The Screen Recording button turns red when your screen is being captured.

Once you stop recording, you'll be asked if you want to save the video to the Photos app. Open the Photos app to view, edit, crop, and share the video through Messages, email, or even post it to your favorite social network.
