settings > control center > customise controls > add screen recording
Then just swipe up and hit the screen recording button.

You get a three second countdown to give you time to get to the thing you want to record, but can also trim the final video as usual. Press the red bar at the top of the screen to stop.
Settings->Control Centre->Customise Controls
Here you can add Screen Recording to Conttol Centre shortcuts. Press on it and it gives you a 3-2-1 countdown. Tap on top of screen to stop recording.
Right then, a question. I've added IOS 11 to my iPad Pro, all seems well so far, just 1 think annoys me.
The bar at the bottom of the home screen that you put the 5 or 6 most used apps (not idea what it's called) now seems to add recently used apps to itself. This annoys me, any way of disabling this so it's only the apps I have chosen to be there?
I'm confused Jamie. Could you post a video of that...? 😉
@ lunge. Yes, untick the recent apps setting in the dock section of the settings app.
Yeah the Apps in the Bar thingy was damn annoying.. I did ^^^ that it’s a simple task.
I'll add my tuppence worth from a work/heavy user of iPad Pro (12.9)
drag and drop is fabulous
'files' is fantastic, esp as use macs as main computer, all files accesible now on ipad, really good (icloud drive, one drive, drop box all in one place)
'drag up' for apps/control centre etc is very good, though will have to learn to stop double clicking on home button (i like this new feature as when reading in bed at night I frequently trigger siri by mistake when double clicking, much to wife's annoyance)
Only thing I do not like is new process to invoke split view, it requires too many steps compared to previous simple flick from right of screen, and changing app in split view is also slower.
Having been using it now nearly a week .... not running smoothly really. App Store app keeps refreshing screen and hanging, two iPads have both run battery down to zero overnight when connected to their chargers - seems this was a known problem in the beta. Battery life on my 6 is definitely worse.
Do you have any way of checking your chargers or USB cables jamba?
I have one of these which is really useful for diagnosing if the cable or charger has gone bad:

Kinda damning that it coincides with the iOS11 upgrade but perhaps iOS11 is more sensitive to dodgy charger power than previous versions?
IME Apple chargers are pretty bombproof but their cables are utter crap. Third-party chargers die regularly, but some of the third-party cables are good quality.
I don’t but its two different chargers and (Anker) cables plus an Anker external battery pack with an Apple cable and two different iPads. All that and a known fault reported on beta test forums. I have an iPhone since the 3G and always update iOS immediately, am a bit of a fanboi but 11 is by far the worst update ime for problems. The wife is so p.ssed off she asked me not to update her MBP to High Sierra yesterday despite me saying that would be different/unrelated. She is happy her iPhone 5 is not supported by 11
Hmmm.. that does sound pretty damning. 🙁 Odd coincidence that you are seeing it on two different iPads if it is a rare event though. Suggests there might be some other factor at play. Maybe it depends what apps are installed?
You could try a full backup (in iTunes) followed by a factory reset (without restore) just to see if it still has the problem after that.
Restore I can do next week when my have access to my Mac Mini. First update I have had serious issues with but imo it’s definiteiy iOS11
I too use the file storage/access now, having used “file manager” app for years.
I hold a lot of documents on my 6s and it’s where most of my storage goes, the new iCloud file manager is brilliant because I can now delete duplicates held on my phone.. 😀
However, the other day I needed to send an attachment and was totally confused as to where my files were, I was seeing stuff on my MacAir and going “grrrr, where are my local files on my 6s you gits!!!”
Then I scrolled around and found em’ 😆
but imo it’s definiteiy iOS11
Yeah, I agree. What I was trying to say was that it seems likely it is [i]"iOS11 + something-else"[/i] because you've been hit on two different iPads by an issue that (presumably) most people on iOS11 don't have.
My PadAirs fine..
Is it isolated to models or all iPads ?
Don’t know. Wife’s Mini is 4 years old shut down today on 30% battery - onto charger and after 5 mins shows 50% - she is not impressed. My Air2 is 2.5 / 3 years old. You get an error messagr in the top bar and then I think the screen stays on which is what drains the battery overnight. Like most people phones and ipads are charged overight, they conenct and start charging fine. Doesn’t happen evey time
2 things are bugging me that hopefully you may have an answer for. You swipe up to get to control centre but swipe down doesnt get rid of it so you have to use the home button which then brings accidentally activating siri back in to play. 2nd thing is when you use control centre on you home pages you also see all the apps in the background which just makes the controls harder to distinguish,any ideas?
Swiping down does work
Just touch the screen above the control centre
Swipe down doesnt work for me, it just keeps pulling down notifications. This is on an ipad mini 4,do you have to do it from a particular place (above control centre does not work).
just makes the controls harder to distinguish,any ideas?
In iOS10 you could go to Settings->General->Accessibility->Increase Contrast and turn on "Reduce Transparency" - probably something similar for iOS11?
@bkader - just touch a blank part of the wcreen. No need to swipe anywhere
1 iPhone 6, 6+, 6s, 7 and iPad Pro in our house and had no battery issues. I’d even say the 7 is actually better.
I’ve had the App Store search cycle a couple of times, always when clicking a link to from an eternal source the the app.
Not sure if it's been mentioned but IOS 11.0.1 has just been released.
Well, shan’t be long before 11.0.16 is released then 😆
I’ll wait for 11.0.2 so they can work out the bugs. 😆
Well it took about 8mins to update on both phone and iPad so whatever it was they fixed was already identified.
Have to say it’s a good model to get us lot to UAT it..
Pham!
Not sure if it's been mentioned but IOS 11.0.1 has just been released.
Thanks, saw it here first !
Sadly the charging issue isn’t included..
Update: As noted by Ars Technica, iOS 11.0.1 appears to fix an Exchange e-mail server bug that prevented many users from sending email from Outlook, Office 365, and Exchange Server email accounts. In a support document covering the feature, Apple now says customers can fix the issue by updating to iOS 11.0.1
They’ve not acknowledged what the patch fixes just that security and bugs.
I think main one is outlook email I think plus some others. The wife is so hacked off she won’t me upgrade her iPad !
Just do it when she’s asleep I bet she doesn’t notice.
Upgraded my work mePhone today.
Took ages, reset lots of my security/privacy settings, now runs exceedingly hot when making phone calls and battery charging is taking about three times as long as before.
I am not massively whelmed. At all.
I like Smart Invert feature. It reverses the screen to a black and white invert which enables better reading at night.. and once set up only takes 3 clicks of the home button..
And the emergency contact 5 clicks of the Off Button.
I’m new to iOS (well since about 7 onward).
Is there a good idiots guide to 11 - I can’t even find the much vaunted files thingy or get apps in to split screen!
On the plus side battery life is so far excellent...
Search YouTube for the tips and hidden tips of IOS 11, plenty of respected sources producing “how to” and “tips and tricks”
That’s how I found the screen invert and a few other things..
When’s the update to fix the orientation bug coming out? Three of us here experiencing iPads/iPhones getting suddenly stuck in landscape when holding in portrait and vice versa. Darned nuisance.
11.0.1 out now
Swipe down doesnt work for me, it just keeps pulling down notifications. This is on an ipad mini 4,do you have to do it from a particular place (above control centre does not work).
The behaviour is different on iPad vs iPhones. I think the previous responses refer to phones but you’re talking about iPads.
You’re right, swipe down doesn’t work. Apple differentiates between swipes down from anywhere on the screen (Eg for search, from the home screen) and swipes from above down onto the screen (notification centre). I agree that a swipe down from anywhere on the screen should close the control centre and take you back to the app you came from, that would seem logical as it’s the reverse of swiping up to open it - which is what iPhones do.
If you’ve opened up the control Centre / multitasking then you can either press the home button, or the app tile, or the app icon (if it’s in the dock) to take you back to where you were. There are plenty of options.
Anyone finding “Auto Brightness” a bit of a pain ? And wondering why it’s no longer in the flip up control panel?
Ahh..
They’ve moved it..
General/Accessibility/Display Accomodations...
Quite why they’ve made it a 20 click step to find something simple, is beyond humans grasp of intergalactic space travel whilst drinking Gin.
