How to Use Screen Recording on iOS (iPhone/iPad): For iPhones and iPads with iOS 11 or higher, you can generally use the screen recording option from the Control Center. If you don’t see it, you may need to add it by going to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls and adding “Screen Recording.” To begin recording, swipe down from the top-right corner (or up from the bottom on older iPhones) to access the Control Center, and then tap the Screen Recording icon (a circle within a larger circle). A countdown will commence and your screen will then be recorded.

The screen recording feature location and name varies based on the device manufacturer and version. It might also be in the Quick Settings panel, which you can reach by swiping down from the top of your screen. Find its icon/button which says something like “Screen Record”, “Screen Recorder”, etc. If you don’t see it right away you should edit your Quick Settings panel to add it.

Before You Start Recording: Ensure that the Snapchat video you wish to save is opened and ready for playback. Make sure to turn your notifications off as well so they don’t pop up during the recording; you don’t want distractions!
