You can take a picture of the screen, just as it appears, or a recording of actions on the screen, to share with others or use in documents. Sometimes these are easier to use, share, and keep with your other files and images when captured this way.

Screen Recording
You can create a screen recording and capture sound on your iPhone which for our purposes during inspection could include commentary on what we are seeing during the camera inspection and live preview on the screen.
The purpose of using this feature is that it is easier to deal with normal video files at times than the 4k resolution 360-degree videos or pictures taken with the GoPro MAX. Both have their place however.
- First you have to add the Screen Recording option to your control panel. Your control panel is what you see when you swipe down across your screen from the top right corner. It is where you can quickly put your phone into airplane mode, access your light, etc…
- To show the Screen Recording option Go to Settings > Control Center, then tap the Insert Screen Recording button next to Screen Recording.
- Open Control Center, tap the Screen Recording button, then wait for the three-second countdown.
- To stop recording, either:
- Tap the red bar at the top left of your screen, then tap Stop.
- Open Control Center, tap the Selected Screen Recording button or the red status bar at the top of the screen, then tap Stop.
- Go to Photos , then select or view your screen recording as a normal video.
