On tablets and foldables, a new Bubble Bar organizes app bubbles in the bottom-right corner.
Screen Reactions lets users record themselves using the selfie camera while capturing the screen, eliminating the need for a green screen.
This is useful for tutorials, reaction videos, or gameplay recordings.
