How do I use Recap from the lock screen?

What you see

• Start a recording, then lock the phone.
• The lock screen shows the status, the timer, and your highlight and photo counts.
• The Dynamic Island shows the status and the timer. Press and hold it for the buttons.

The buttons

• Pause / Resume — the timer stops while paused. Nothing is recorded.
• Highlight — marks this part of the conversation. It leads the notes.
• Photo — opens the camera over the lock screen. The photo goes into the recording.
• Stop — saves. The recording’s page is there when you unlock.

Photo from the lock screen

• Allow the camera once in Recap. Recap asks when you start a recording.
• The phone has a passcode: the camera opens over the lock screen. Lock again when done.
• No passcode, or unlocked: Recap opens with its camera.
• Recap Photo control: add it to the lock screen or Control Center for the same camera.

Don’t see it?

• Settings › Recap › Live Activities must be on.
• First time: tap Allow when iOS asks to allow Live Activities from Recap.
