iOS device owners have always yearned for an iPhone screen recorder along with the audio. While iOS 8 devices did give users the option to record screens through the QuickTime app, the phone required being tethered to the Mac for this. Users have been looking for easier options to record iPhone screen without making the entire task very cumbersome.
