The default iPhone screen recorder does not offer many options. You can open the options menu for screen recording by tapping and holding the screen record icon on the quick access menu. It will open the screen recording options.
Turn your mic on: you can use your mic on your iPhone while recording the screen. When this option is enabled all the sounds in your environment will be recorded with the screen record. This is a great way to create demonstration videos.
