Option "Show device mask in screenshots and videos" in iOS simulator not working as expected

Hi, I've activated the option "Show device mask in screenshots and videos" in iOS Simulator's preferences.

When I take a screenshot of the simulator, using the "Save Screen" button, the "preview" of the screenshot (the one that appears as a small image on MacOS, next to the simulator) shows the frame, but when I save the image, e.g. in the Desktop folder, the frame doesn't appear in the saved image.

Am I missing something, or this feature has a bug?

Are you looking for the device bezel (picture of the physical device) around the display? Simulator doesn’t save that. “Device mask” refers to the rounded corners and the top notch on devices without a home button. Saving with that option renders those areas transparent.

Thanks Scott for the clarification, I had misinterpreted the feature :) I solved using another tool.
