The Ultimate Guide to Recording Internal Audio on an iPhone

Are you looking to record internal audio on your iPhone? If so, you're in luck! This guide will walk you through the process and provide you with options for both native and third-party solutions.

Introduction to Internal Audio Recording on iPhone

As of my last update in August 2023, iPhones come equipped with built-in screen recording functionality that allows you to record internal audio, which includes sounds from apps and system sounds. While the native screen recording tool on iPhones does a great job, sometimes you might require more advanced features that third-party apps offer.

Using the Built-in Screen Recording Functionality

The primary method to record internal audio on an iPhone is through its built-in screen recorder. Here's how you can enable and use it effectively:

Enable Screen Recording:

- Go to Settings > Control Center. - Scroll down and tap the green plus icon next to Screen Recording to add it to your Control Center.

Record Internal Audio:

- Open Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner on iPhone X and later, or swiping up from the bottom edge on iPhone 8 and earlier. - Press and hold the Screen Recording button (the circle within a circle). - Tap the Microphone icon to enable or disable external audio recording. To record only internal audio, make sure the microphone is off. - Tap Start Recording.

Stop Recording:

- Open the Control Center again and tap the Screen Recording button, or tap the red status bar at the top of the screen and select Stop.
