The free version is excellent, but extra options are available for a small fee. It's simple to use, and packed with handy features. For anything else, we recommend AZ Screen Recorder (opens in new tab). If you want to record gameplay footage, Google Play Games (opens in new tab) has a built-in screen recorder that will start capturing footage automatically when you launch a game. Such apps are very popular, so there's no shortage of shoddily made or outright malicious ones available. If you're using Android Pie or earlier, you'll need a third-party screen recorder from the Google Play Store.

You can now record your screen any time by hitting the power button to bring up the power options menu, then holding the screenshot button until the screen recording options appear. Find the flag 'settings_screenrecord_long_press' and toggle the switch to activate it. Return to the system settings, tap 'Developer options' and select 'Feature flags'. This will put the phone in developer mode, letting you test features that aren't yet fully finished. Tap the version number seven times, then enter your unlock credentials when prompted. To stop recording, open Control Center, then tap the red Record button.

Exit Control Center to record your screen. Tap the gray Record button, then wait for the three-second countown.

Open Control Center on your iPhone, or on your iPad. Android 13 includes its own screen recorder, which you can find by opening the 'Settings' menu and selecting 'About phone'. Go to Settings > Control Center, then tap the Add button next to Screen Recording.
