Indicating where a user interacts with the screen during a screen recording on iOS devices is a feature that visually displays tap gestures. This is achieved by representing each tap as a small visual cue, typically a circle or a dot, that appears at the point of contact on the screen during the recording. For example, when demonstrating a mobile application’s functionality, each tap on a button or icon is clearly marked, making it easier for viewers to follow the actions being performed.
This visual feedback mechanism offers several benefits. It enhances clarity in tutorials and demonstrations, allowing viewers to understand precisely which elements are being interacted with. Historically, this capability was often achieved through third-party applications or developer tools. However, the integration of screen recording functionalities with built-in tap visualization simplifies the process, making it more accessible to a wider range of users. This advancement is particularly valuable for creating effective instructional materials and providing clear feedback during remote assistance sessions.
