iPadOS Local Capture is a feature introduced by Apple that allows creators to produce high-quality audio and video recordings directly from an iPad. This feature is particularly useful for podcasters and those who record using video calls. Local Capture can be activated through the Control Center and works with any video conferencing app. It captures high-quality audio and video locally on the iPad, with echo cancellation to ensure that your voice remains clear and prominent. After the recording, users can easily share their audio and video files, making it easier to produce interviews or podcasts with clear recordings from all participants. This feature was highlighted in the Keynote session at WWDC 2025.
