The functionality that allows a user to create a digital video of the device’s display on Apple’s mobile operating system is a built-in feature. It enables capturing on-screen activity, including app usage, tutorials, and gameplay, directly to a video file stored on the device. For example, a user might utilize this feature to demonstrate a specific workflow within an application or to archive a live stream event.
This capability offers several advantages, including simplified content creation, improved user support, and enhanced communication. Historically, third-party applications were required to achieve similar functionality; however, the integration of this function directly into the operating system provides a streamlined and secure method for capturing device interactions. This eliminates the need for potentially unreliable or privacy-compromising external apps.
