Maybe I'm late to the party, but something neat I discovered (screen recording to get system audio in iOS)

Hi,
I'm a heavy heavy user of audio Hijack on mac, and I've always wished for an app like this for iOS, but alas, that will never happen, lol. Anyway, Maybe I'm late to the party, but I found kind of a way to mimic audiohijack on iOS. It's called screen recording, yes, there are some caviots, such as the fact some apps, ie youtube tv won't work with it, and also, you can't lock your screen when you record. :( Also, you have to mute your phone, or go into DND and also mute VO speech if you don't want to get interrupted. No, it's not perfect, but as far as I know, it's the only solution. If anyone knows of a better way to record iOS inner app audio without the computer, let me know. But just thought I'd post this in case anyone didn't know.

I think eventually you'll find certain apps won't allow you to record.

Some of the VOD apps come to mind, like apple tv plus.

So while I agree, it's great for showing a developer of an app a bug you might encounter, I wouldn't rely on it.
