A new app called xRec is able to record what's on your iPhone's screen and turn it into a video file, even if it's a third-party app.
An iPhone application that allows users to record their screens, including other third-party apps, has managed to sneak onto the App Store.
xRec, which was published on Saturday and costs $1.99 ( iTunes), can record a user's screen in its entirety. The software requires an active Internet connection to work, and according to tech site Giga ( Google Translate), uses code from jailbreak app RecordMyScreen, which offers a similar feature set and user interface.
The app leaves a red, pulsing bar at the top of the screen when it's recording, something that cannot be removed. It can also be set to record audio at various quality rates, and save everything back to a users' camera roll, or sent off to other installed apps.

The software, which is likely to be removed by Apple, requires iOS 5 and its developer says it will not work with iOS 7 -- Apple's upcoming mobile operating system update.
This is not the first screen recording app to hit the App Store, but the capability to record activity from other applications is unique. iOS app UX Recorder can also record on-screen activity, but is limited to the front-facing camera, and the Web browser built into the app.
