What Audio is Recorded During Screen Recording?

By default, your iPhone will record both screen audio (system sounds, app audio, etc.) and microphone audio (your voice). This allows you to create comprehensive recordings that include both the visual and auditory aspects of your screen activity. However, you can choose to only record the screen audio, excluding the microphone audio, for situations where only the screen sounds are important. To adjust this setting, long-press the Screen Recording button in Control Center and choose which audio options you want before starting to record.
