Record Clash Royale on iPhone and iPad
Here’s the thing: this page was written in 2016, when Apple’s built-in recorder was not an option for most games. Players used apps from outside the App Store or a paid tweak for jailbroken phones. Today you do not need either. The recorder is part of iOS and iPadOS.
- Add the recorder once. Open Settings, then Control Center, and add Screen Recording if it is not there.
- Swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center.
- Tap the Record button and wait for the three-second countdown.
- Close Control Center and play Clash Royale.
- To stop, tap the red indicator at the top of the screen, then tap Stop. Find the video in Photos.
Good to know: iPad uses the same steps as iPhone. On an older iPhone with a Home button, Control Center usually opens with a swipe up from the bottom edge, so use whichever gesture your model has. What it means: if the Record button is missing, add it in Settings first.
The move: for sound, tap and hold the gray Record button before you start and turn on the microphone. The catch: Apple says some apps do not allow audio or video recording, and you cannot record the screen and use screen mirroring at the same time.
Apple and Google keep improving the built-in recorders, with better sound and quality. The negative effect: as these tools get easier, more gameplay videos appear, and creators will find it harder to stand out or to know which rules apply to their clips.
Record Clash Royale on Android
Android phones have a recorder too. Swipe down twice from the top of the screen, tap Screen record, choose whether to record audio and show touches, and tap Start. To stop, swipe down and tap the recorder notification. Google says videos can be found in the Photos app under Collections, On this device, then Movies. If you do not see the button, tap Edit in Quick Settings and drag it in.
The catch: buttons differ by phone brand, so use the names on your own phone. If you play on a computer, see Clash Royale on PC and how to stream Clash Royale.
Why the Old Apps Are Gone
| Old tool | What it was | Today |
| AirShou | App installed from an unofficial site | Not needed; use the built-in recorder |
| iRec | Recorder app that stopped after an iOS update | Not needed |
| Display Recorder | Paid tweak for jailbroken phones | Not needed; jailbreaking adds risk |
| Built-in recorder | Part of iOS, iPadOS and Android | Use this |
What it means: those installs can carry malware or break your warranty, and the built-in tool does the same job. Still unknown: whether any of those old tools still work, since we did not test them.
Phones are likely to keep locking down installs from outside the store, which will push every recorder inside the system. The negative effect: apps that block recording, such as some video and banking apps, may become more common, and players could meet blank screens in clips.
Game makers and platforms are likely to add more rules for gameplay clips, such as labels or limits on monetizing. The negative effect: a creator who records without reading the rules could lose a clip, or the income from it.
Tips Before You Press Record
- Turn on Do Not Disturb so messages do not show up.
- Keep at least a few GB free, because videos are large.
- Play a short battle first to test sound.
- Hide your player tag and clan chat if you will post the clip.
- Use the same Supercell ID account you saved. Our save and load checklist shows how.
Quick math: the built-in recorder takes under a minute to turn on, and the old apps took a download, an account and a restart. The takeaway: the built-in recorder is the easy answer.
