The ability to natively screen record on iPhone dates back to iOS 11, and was introduced in 2017. Previously, this feature was only available through the Control center. However, with the beta version of iOS 16.5, Apple introduced a new feature that allows users to record their iPhone screen instantly using Siri voice commands. This new feature has been especially well received by content creators as it is a faster and more efficient way to create tutorials, or record mobile game achievements and other highlights.
How to ask Siri to record the screen of our iPhone?
In order to enjoy this function we have to make sure that our iPhone is updated to at least iOS 16.5. If your iPhone is properly updated, you are ready to use this feature. From the lock or home screen, simply use a command like “Hey Siri, record my screen” or even “Hey Siri, record screen”. No need to wait for a countdown, recording will start instantly.
During recording, you will see a red screen recording indicator. This indicator will appear in the top corner or dynamic island of your iPhone, depending on the iPhone model and settings you have. Once you’ve captured everything you want, you can tell Siri “stop recording” to finish and automatically save it to the Photos app. If you prefer to manually stop recording, just tap the red indicator.
