Hello. I have never had an iPhone, so I am unaware of how easy or difficult it is to start video recording and then make the screen black. I’ve tried searching on here, but couldn’t find much conclusive info. On my Samsung it is easy, because I can turn the screen black just by clicking on a floating icon any time I want. This is very convenient and it also allows me to use the stock samsung video app, which appears to give the best camera results. Is there any similar option on iPhone? if it is too difficult then I may just stay with android. Though I’d like to try an iPhone, for the supposedly superior video quality and I’m also a bigger fan of they handle their data, compared to androids. If anyone got tips, then It’d be appreciated

I’d suggest a phone wallet case , dim the brightness to the lowest and do your thing while the case is closed

I use an app to turn my screen black, to be fair it does cost at least $10 but you’ll feel safer capping with it. The app is called SPC and it’s honestly great! It has its own gallery folder in case you ever get caught, it won’t show up directly on your gallery ( unless you turn on that setting ). It has other background options but I always stick to the black screen.

Yes that could be a workaround
Cee eye is a good app that is free and lets you use a black screen or ur wallpaper while recording
Didn’t need to spend any money on Android. The BVR2 APK is free and easy to find online.
Start and stop recording with the screen locked. It uses the volume buttons to start/stop. Up to 1 min full resolution, for free!
Unfortunately you’ll always have to go the SPC app to record. It has a lot of options to record with wide angle, ultra wide angle and even able to use the front camera. It has options on how you want to record, like slow mo, horizontal mode, motion detection, time lapse and my favorite right now, duo camera. It honestly a really good app, I used to use the stock camera app to cap my targets but I was always afraid of getting caught since I would have the cam app open even tho I would lower the brightness all the way down. But since I found this app I am more relaxed and can record freely my target without worrying that someone will catch my screen since it just a black screen. I would give it a go as it’s the only app I’ve seen on iPhone to work.
Ever since I got to capping I didn’t know there was an app like this since I did my research so I wouldn’t be afraid of someone catching me recording my target. Out of dumb luck I found one comment saying to try this app for iPhone and I took a chance (it’s just $10 either way) and it has been the best thing for capping. Now whenever I go anywhere out and can cap I do it without too much worry as my screen looks turned off and the video go into the app gallery. Of course I still try to look like I’m just regularly there and nothing stupid where I’ll get caught lol Don’t want that embarrassment to happen even if I can deny everything lol
It’s been a while since I’ve had the app now but what I remember is that I select one photo to share to the app ( that way you can always move the video from the app gallery to your stock gallery app ) and the rest don’t show up on the app.
