How to Record iPhone Screen
Recording your iPhone screen is incredibly easy. First, navigate to Settings > Control Center and tap “Customize Controls.” From here, add “Screen Recording” to your included controls.
To start recording, open the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner (on Face ID models) or swiping up from the bottom (on other models). Tap the “Screen Record” button. After a 3-second countdown, your iPhone will start recording everything on the screen.
When finished, tap the red bar at the top of your screen and select “Stop.” Your recording will automatically save to your Photos app. You can also edit it directly there.

Wait a few moments, then press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo. Your iPhone will boot back up and should work more smoothly.
For iPhones with a Home button, just press and hold the Home and the Sleep/Wake buttons together, then follow similar steps to power off and restart.
How to Factory Reset an iPhone
If you’re looking to factory reset your iPhone, begin by ensuring your data is backed up. Navigate to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings. This will completely wipe your iPhone clean.
You will need to confirm this action and enter your Apple ID password. It may take a few moments for your device to erase and restart. Once completed, your iPhone will be like new, ready for setup.
Remember, factory resetting is irreversible if you don’t have your data backed up, so proceed with caution.
