How to Record Minecraft Gameplay on iPhone or iPad
Source-checked · About 5 minutes
Answer
Open Control Center, add Screen Recording if it is missing, then tap the Record button and return to Minecraft before the three-second countdown ends. To include your voice, touch and hold Screen Recording and turn Microphone on first. Stop from the red recording indicator; the clip saves to Photos.
Open Minecraft and position the world at the point where the clip should begin. A short test recording is safer than discovering missing audio after a long session.

Open Control Center
Swipe down from the top-right on a Face ID iPhone or iPad. On a Home-button iPhone, swipe up from the bottom. If Screen Recording is missing, touch and hold the Control Center background, select Add a Control, then add Screen Recording.
3
Choose whether to record your voice
For narration, touch and hold Screen Recording, turn Microphone on, and select Start Recording. Without narration, tap Screen Recording once. Wait for the three-second countdown.
4
Record the gameplay
Close Control Center and play the section you want to capture. Notifications and anything else visible on screen can appear in the recording, so avoid opening private information.
5
Stop the recording
Tap the red recording indicator and select Stop, or reopen Control Center and tap the red Screen Recording button.
6
Verify the saved clip
Open Photos and play the recording through. Success means the intended gameplay is visible and the game or microphone audio you chose is present before you share or edit it.
If it does not work
If your voice is missing, it cannot be added to the original recording; enable Microphone and make a short retest.
If game audio or video is absent, Apple notes that some apps restrict capture. Test a short clip before recording a full session.
If recording will not start while screen mirroring is active, stop mirroring and retry.
If the clip is not in Photos, check available device storage and record a short test.

The procedure follows Apple's current native screen-recording controls; some apps can restrict captured audio or video, and mirroring cannot run at the same time.
