Screen Record is different from Screen Shot (Capturing an image on your device’s screen). When you do a screen recording with your phone, you are actually recording a video of the movements/activities done on your device's screen.
Why do people screen records?
Simply to share a mini video on how they play a specific game on their smartphone, record their best moments while playing the games or tell a story. They can even do a tutorial guide on how to do “something” on their devices! Moreover, they are able to do a voiceover along with recording the video!
So here are the 10 easy steps on how to do a Screen Record on your Apple devices:
