I'm looking for recommendations on apps that can record the screen on both iPhone and Android for creating tutorials. I've run into a situation where the screen changes too quickly to grab screenshots effectively, so I think a software solution that can run in the background while I demonstrate a process would be ideal. Bonus points if the app can highlight taps on the screen too! Since some of these apps might be invasive, I'd prefer to hear opinions rather than just checking out app store reviews.

Have you tried the built-in screen recording features on iPhones? It's great for short clips, and it works well for capturing app sequences without needing extra apps. Here's a support link for more info: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102653.
On Android, I've had really good experiences with XRecorder. It's straightforward and does the job well! Plus, it doesn't have a lot of bloat.
For Android devices, especially Samsung, there's a built-in screen recorder that records audio and highlights touches. You can find it in the quick settings. I believe iPhones have a similar feature.
Many devices nowadays come with screen recording features built-in. It’s worth checking your device's settings to find it!
For iPhone users with a Mac, you can actually record using QuickTime. Just connect your iPhone to the Mac and you can capture everything happening on your phone. Here's how: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/quicktime-player/qtp356b55534/mac.
That's good to know! I might have to ask my manager if I can use the Mac for that! Now I need to find something similar for Android.
