I'm just wondering how you people go about recording things on iOS and Android, as I was thinking about running a few games for these.

Misread the OP, ignore me

@ShikenNuggets

I'm sure the OP meant a screen recorder, not an on-screen timer.

@Jackythejack

Try DU Screen Recorder, it is simple and free. If that doesn't work for you, try Mobizen.

The iPhone 8 and up have a built in screen recorder that you can find in the control centre thing, not sure about android

The built-in screen recorder is for all Apple smartphones running iOS 10 and up.

Small fun fact: Android screen recorders can only record external audio (like your microphone) The privacy policy states that screen recorders aren't allowed to record internal audio.

@SpiderHako mentioned good screen recorders, but those are only able to record external sound. (if you don't mind if your voice is in the recording that is)

For many questions regarding this, here is a link to the mobile speedrunning server: https://discord.gg/wQRYNux

@Seydie

That is totally not true. I use Mobizen for my recording. You can't hear the game's sound when recording, but the video will include the game's sound when done recording.

I personally use Vysor, since it just doesn't give a damn about android's privacy policy Kappa

@spiderhako, really? Well Ill DM you if you don't mind. I might do something wrong then

Regarding Mobizen, you can only hear the game's audio while recording when you choose to record external sound.
