Am I the only one who thinks that the new Screen Recording feature in iOS 11 needs more polish to it?

a) Apple could add an option to show a small circle when you tap or select something, like they do on their website.
b) Maybe somehow remove the red bar on the top (which indicates recording) in the video itself... kind of ugly.
c) Remove the "Stop recording?" dialog at the end. It's unnecessary and weird to be left there in the video like that.

Thoughts?
 
a) yes it would be nice to show taps
b) I agree, but users would be confused about when Screen Recording is active
c) you can crop that part out of the video in the Photos app

What I meant is showing the red bar actively while screen recording, but in the video itself, the red bar isn't shown - the underlying regular menu bar is showing. This is, in a technical sense, possible because if you record your iPhone screen using QuickTime, it changes the time to 9:41am on the menu bar and removes the network designator (i.e., AT&T).

You can, but it may be nicer and more Apple-like (polish) if Apple automatically cropped/trimmed that part themselves. Nothing happens during that second or so, anyway.
