2 Quick Tips To Stop The Screen Recording On Your iPhone

Starting with iOS 11, iPhone and iPad user have the option to screen record their device. This is very useful when you want to save data, create tutorials or simply show what’s playing on your smartphone. When you start a screen recording session you have three seconds to display the app that you want to record. However, to end a recording most of us use the same start/stop recording icon available in the Control Center.

I have some good news though. There are two other more clever ways of ending a screen recording on your iPhone, without having to disturb the actual recording. This saves time, because you won’t need to edit the video anymore and cut out the screen recording shutdown part. There’s no need to swipe for the Control Center anymore, because we bypass that step!
