There's a secret native screen recorder on the Galaxy S7/S7 edge, here's how to make use of it
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where regular screenshots simply don't cut it? Chances are that you have, and this is exactly where a screen recording app might come useful.

However, not many Android devices have such a feature built-in into their interface, which means that users have to find an app of that kind themselves and these can often misbehave and not function as advertised.
