The functionality enables users to capture the visual output of their device’s display, along with optional audio, creating a video file of on-screen activity. For instance, it allows recording of gameplay, app tutorials, or demonstrations of software features directly on a mobile device.
This capability is vital for creating instructional content, troubleshooting technical issues, or simply preserving moments displayed on the screen. Its inclusion as a built-in feature streamlines the process, removing the need for third-party applications and enhancing user privacy by minimizing reliance on external software with potentially broader permissions. Prior to its integration, users often depended on less secure or reliable methods to achieve the same outcome.
