iOS 11 comes with a handy new Control Center function that allows you to record what you're doing on your screen. It's great if you want to capture gameplay, walk someone through a tutorial in an app, demonstrate a bug, and more, and it's available on iPhones and iPads running iOS 11.

If you don't have the screen recording icon in Control Center, you can add it in the Settings app.
There are a few options that are available when making a screen recording, which can be accessed directly in the Control Center. To bring up these options, simply 3D Touch on the screen recording icon.
From this menu, you can start a screen recording and toggle microphone audio on or off. These are the only options that are available for the feature -- it's fairly basic.

I get that exact same option on my iPhone 6+ by just tapping and holding on the screen recording icon.
Really haven't felt I've been missing out on anything over the past several years by not having 3D touch on my iPhone.
