Do you need to record your phone’s screen to save something? Well, a while ago recording Android phone’s screen used to be difficult as it required root access. But after Android 4.4 KitKat, Google introduced a way to make it much easier.
Currently, there are basically two ways of recording your Android device’s screen: the Google way which is using ADB or the second way using a third-party app. Apart from these, some smartphone makers also offer inbuilt screen recorder with their devices. Still, most of the Android users are deprived of this feature. So, for them using third-party apps is the best option.
Even though this method is unofficial, it’s definitely the easier method and we recommend it for most people. Currently, there are dozens of screen recording apps in the Google Play Store, however, we have chosen a few best apps for you. Let’s take a look at these Android apps to get your screen recording.
