How to Capture and Record Your iPhone Screen on Mac

By FonePaw | Nov 05 , 2015

Do you want to record your iPhone screen activity as a video? For example, record easy-to-follow video guide to show your friend how to achieve a task or record an iPhone app demonstration. If you'd like to record iPhone screen with no complicated process and zero cost, look no further, you'll get the best solution here.

 

Here we'll show you how to record the screen of iPhone 6s/6s Plus/6/6Plus/5s/5/4s easily on your Mac computer.

 

Step 1. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac via a USB cable.

 

Step 2. Open the QuickTime app on Mac (hit ⌘ + SPACE on your keyboard, write "QuickTime" without the quotes, and hit ENTER ⏎)

 

Step 3. Go to "File" and select "New Movie Recording" entry.

Some people ask that what if I don't have a Mac computer?

 

You can use some third-party iPhone screen recorder apps to capture your iPhone or iPad screen. Display Recorder, Shou and iRec are some well-known apps to record iOS devices screen. But recently, I give them a try on my iPhone 6s running iOS 9, it seems that they are not fully but partially compatible with iOS 9 at the moment I wrote the post.

 

If you have any better ways to record iPhone, iPad or iPod touch screen, welcome to share it in the comments below.

Thanks for the guide, I cannot get my iPad Air or iPhone 6 to connect - I don't see them as an option in the drop down menu on quicktime. The lightening cord works/connects just fine. Any thoughts on what else I could check to fix this? iOS and OS are both fully updated. I used to record with Acethinker iPhone Screen Recorder, never had this problem.
