Being an open source community supporter, I just hate to mention the fact that there isn’t a free way to record screen on your iPhone or iPad. And yes, its not free even if you have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad.
So, if you still need to know about the ways to record screen, then continue reading this. If you think like a man with decent electronics knowledge, the only way to record the screen is connect your iPhone or iPad to a TV with a HDMI cable and then use a recording device to capture the screen.
But yes, this is way expensive and completely impractical. So, lets talk about the ways that we find handy. If you were looking for ways to record Facetime chat on iPhone or iPad, then keep reading this post.
Ways To Record Screen On iPhone or iPad – Record Facetime Chat
Record Screen On A Normal iPhone or iPad
Since there isn’t a free hack for it, the only way to do it is by using apps. There is a wonderful app, Reflection which is meant for capturing screen. Now if you are wondering how to use it, then here is the way.
- Before you buy this app, make sure that you can use AirPlay on your Apple devices
- With this app and Airplay, you can have the screen of your iOS device being broadcasted on the computer screen using WiFi
- Once you can see the iOS screen on the bigger screen, just click on Start Recording or hit CMD + R
With a price tag of $14.99, this could be at the higher end of your budget, but is surely worthy. If you are looking for cheaper options, you can check out AirServer or a Bakari app.
Record Screen On A Jailbroken iPhone or iPad
If you have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad, then you can check Display Recorder app. This app is as good as Reflection, but make sure that you buy it from Cydia apps. Its operation is very much similar to that of Reflection, but is way cheaper. It would cost you only $4.99.
These are two best ways to record screen on iPhone or iPad. And if you have been looking for ways to record Facetime chat on iPhone or iPad, then try these methods out.
Awesome! Everything works smoothly. However while playing games, the sound is delayed from the video itself a bit. Currently, I’m using a desktop app call acethinker iphone screen recorder that mirrors my iPhone screen to the computer and use its screen recording function to make videos. It’s not that direct, but it works smoothly.
