Recording your phone screen can be far more useful than just taking a screenshot. Never tried it? Here’s how to do it on an Android device:

• Swipe down from the top of your screen to open Quick Settings.
• Select Screen record. If you don’t see it, swipe right or down again to expand the menu.
• Enable recording, if necessary, then select what you’ll be recording and hit Start. Your video will begin recording after a short countdown.
• When you’re ready to stop recording, swipe down from the top of your screen and select the Screen recorder button to end the video or hit the Stop button if your phone displays one.
