How to Record Video with Screen Off on iPhone
To maintain important system performance and battery life, the iPhone stops most background activities and apps. The traditional screen recording function cannot work properly when the iPhone screen is off. You can set a longer auto-lock time (Tap Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock > Never.) to record iPhone screen based on your needs.
But if you want to capture videos through the camera app without others knowing, you can use Discreet. This app uses a black screen to hide sensitive information. So others won't see what you are doing with your iPhone. Here are the detailed steps to turn off the screen with the phone camera still on for recording.
- 1. Install the Discreet app. Confirm the permission of the camera and microphone.
- 2. Tap the "Record" button. Your iPhone screen turns black. It looks like the screen is off. So, you can do video and audio recordings without showing the screen.
- 3. Tap the "Stop" button to finish recording. Go to the Camera Roll to get the video recording.
How to Record Video with Screen Locked on Android
The same thing happens to Android phones and tablets too. The default Android screen recording function stops working once the device is in sleep mode. However, you can record offscreen video activities with third-party apps after enabling related permissions.

Thus, you had better exclude the app from battery optimization settings (Tap Settings > Battery > Battery & Performance > Battery Optimization or Battery Saver, then modify app's battery settings.) in advance.
- 1. Install a record video with screen off app on Android, such as OffScreen Video Recorder.
- 2. Grant permissions for camera and microphone. Tap the "Allow" button to move on.
- 3. Choose the video mode and adjust recording settings.
- 4. Tap the "Record" button to record with the phone screen off on Android. Your phone screen will blackout a few seconds later. No worries. This offscreen recorder app captures video and audio normally.
- 5. Now, your Android phone can work as a secret phone recorder. You can tap the "Stop" button when you want to end recording.
- 6. Go to the Gallery or Photos app to find your recorded video file. It is labeled with the app's name or date/time of recording.
סיכום
Long-time video recording and hidden recording may cause screen off. To record the screen in sleep mode or locked screen on the computer, AnyRec Screen Recorder is worth trying. Currently, no default or third-party apps can secretly record video on iPhone and Andorid after getting locked. Some background recorder apps can fake your screen as "off" (Or you can say it as closed, disabled, locked, asleep, or similar items.). So, you can record video in background camera preview on iPhone and Android. But the phone still works behind the black screen.
