Ever wished to explain something on your iPhone screen, step by step, using your voice? Maybe you’re showing how to use an app, or trying to help a friend fix a setting. Good news — it’s super simple to add a voiceover to your iPhone screen recording!
This guide will walk you through it in a fun and easy way. Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Enable Screen Recording in Control Center
Before recording anything, make sure the screen recording option is ready to use.
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Control Center.
- Scroll down, find Screen Recording, and tap the green + icon next to it.

- Press and hold the Screen Recording button (don’t just tap it!).

Pro Tips to Rock Your Voiceover
- Speak clearly. Pretend you’re explaining something to a friend.
- Plan it out. Think about what you’re going to say before you start.
- Keep it short. People love quick and simple explanations.
Don’t worry if you make a mistake. It happens! Just start over and give it another shot.
Where Do Your Recordings Go?
After you stop recording, your video lands in the Photos app.
From there, you can:
- Watch it back
- Edit it
- Share it with friends
If your voice didn’t record, double-check that the mic was on. It’s an easy thing to miss!
Edit Your Voiceover (Optional but Fun!)
If you want to spice things up, edit your video using iMovie or a video app.
Here’s how to do it in iMovie:
- Open iMovie on your iPhone.
- Create a new project and add your screen recording.
- You can trim parts, add music, or enhance your voice.
It’s a great way to polish your video before sharing it with the world!
