iOS 11 Screen Recorder : iOS 11 promises to bring many new features, functions and enhancements to your device. It is dubbed by many experts as the best mobile operating system ever to be developed. One exciting feature that Apple introduces with this new firmware is the capability to record screen. None of the iOS versions had this capability before. Earlier, when you had to record the screen video, you needed to download a third-party app. Such an app was not available on Apple’s App Store and hence it had to be side-loaded from the third-party helper applications. With iOS 11, you now have the native ability to record the screen and the feature is built right into the OS. Isn’t it amazing?
