Whether you want to create a tutorial or save screen activity for later reference, screen recording makes it easy to do so. It is one of the most convenient tool for recording content.

There are several ways to record your mobile screen, but it depends on your Android phone model. If your device runs on Android 10 or higher versions, you have an in-built screen recording feature. Else, you need to rely on third-party apps.

Note: There are a few limitations to screen recording apps. For instance, you can’t record the screen on all apps and settings because of copyright issues. In some parts of the U.S., it’s actually illegal to record a personal conversation unless the other parties agree on it.
