Video recording your iOS devices screen the legal way with xRec for iPhone and iPad

All of us want to record the going ons on our mobile screen for some reason or other.  There is already a App available for this on github but it requires jailbreak(see down) that is why Akın Öğünç has gone ahead and published xRec for iOS devices.

This App lets you record the going ons on your screen including the screen activity while using other Apps.  The App requires constant internet activity and uses your front camera and browser to give results.  It shows up a red bar (which some users did not like) when you are recording something.  Sadly this bar cannot be removed, hence the outrage.  The App also allows you to record audio in various formats. After the recording is done you can save the captured data to your camera roll or send it to other installed apps.

The step by step guide for recording both video and audio is as under :

1) Open xRec 

2) Tap Settings and set the orientation according to what you will record 

3) Tap Record and tap Start button 

4) Press Home button and open anything you want 

5) After finishing your work, open Screen Recorder and tap Stop button 

6) Wait for encoding, then tap Videos 

7) You will see your video there. Tap blue indicator on video and save it to Camera roll. That's all.

If you hear a song instead of recording, do this steps:

1)Double-click home button and kill application process

2)Check your internet connection. You MUST have internet connection.

3)Then open xRec again. This time you wont hear a song and you can record anything.

However it does not come cheap.  The App comes at $1.99 (Rs.120.00) and can be download from Apple Store here.

Those who have jailbroken iOS devices can download the RecordMyScreen from here.  Remember both Apps have their distinct disadvantages like you may inadvertently leak the video messages you have with your loved ones in case the device is compromised
