    The API for iOS screen recording is sandboxed to the app itself. There is currently no system-wide screen recording API for developers.

      iOS does have an API for apps to record the screen throughout the OS these days through Broadcast Extensions, but it has to be user-initiated through the control center screen recording toggle (where they then get to pick what app to record the screen to instead of just saving as a video), it wouldn’t do that people think the T-Mobile app is doing

        I see it now. Yes, broadcasting is available, but with the limitations you’ve specified. Thanks for the update/correction!
