What Loom's iPhone app does

Loom: Screen Recorder is a free download from Loom, Inc and requires iOS 18.5 or later on an iPhone or iPad. Its App Store listing says it records your screen, camera, microphone and internal audio, saves videos to the cloud and shares them instantly with a link.

Screen recording runs through Apple's Screen Broadcast control. Loom's help center says to choose Screen, select Screen Broadcast and tap Start Broadcast; a red bar shows the recording is running. The same page says it is not possible to record the screen and camera at the same time, which Loom calls an Apple iOS limitation.

The Starter plan is free: up to 25 videos per person, 5 minutes per video and quality up to 720p. Business, at $18 per user per month, adds unlimited videos, unlimited recording time, recording up to 4K, downloads and removal of Loom branding. Business + AI is $24 and adds auto titles, summaries and chapters.
