Capturing screen recordings on your iPhone 13 with sound can be a nifty way to share gameplay achievements, create tutorials, or save video calls. Luckily, it’s pretty straightforward. You just need to know where to look and which buttons to press.

Step by Step Tutorial on How to Get Sound on Screen Recording on iPhone 13

Before we dive into the step-by-step process, it’s important to note that this tutorial will help you record both external sounds through the microphone and internal audio from the device.

Step 1: Open Control Center

Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPhone 13 screen to open the Control Center.

The Control Center is the hub for quick settings and controls. If you don’t see the Screen Recording icon, you’ll need to add it via the Settings app.

Step 2: Press and Hold the Screen Recording Button

Look for the Screen Recording icon (it looks like a solid circle inside a hollow circle) and press and hold it.

Pressing and holding the button will bring up a menu that allows you to toggle the microphone on or off, which is crucial for recording sound.

Step 3: Turn On the Microphone

Tap the Microphone icon to turn on your microphone – it should turn red.

By turning on the microphone, you’re enabling your iPhone 13 to capture external sounds in your screen recording.

Step 4: Start Recording

Tap Start Recording. There will be a three-second countdown before the recording begins.

This gives you a brief moment to prepare for the recording. Once it starts, you’ll see a red bar or time indicator at the top of your screen.

Step 5: Stop Recording

To stop recording, tap the red status bar at the top of your screen, and then tap Stop.

Alternatively, you can open the Control Center and tap the Screen Recording icon again to stop.

Once you complete these steps, your screen recording—complete with sound—will be saved in your Photos app. You can now edit, share, or keep it for your records.
