Why Is Screen Recording Not Working on My Phone

Why Is Screen Recording Not Working on My iPhone

#1. Function disabled. 

iPhone users mainly encounter this problem when iOS17/18 becomes mainstream. From the two versions, the screen recording feature can be restricted. Under this circumstance, you can go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. Now check the ‘content restrictions’ to make sure the screen recording feature is allowed. 

#2. Screen Recording Crashes

If your OS is lower than iOS 15, then the screen recorder embedded in your phone can suffer from too much stress. That’s the reason that causes constant crashes when you want to record something. 

Why Is Screen Recording Not Working on My Android Phone

3 factors can stop your phone from functioning stably when executing a screen recording.

#1. Your OS is outdated.

When the recording feature happens to have a big iteration, and your OS fails to catch up, then the screen recording function may refuse to work. To solve this problem, you need to go to settings and check if there is any update available. 

#2. The shortage of storage. 

Yep, most users forget to check their storage and delete unnecessary clips. Screen recording usually goes with massive files and piles up in your photo gallery.

#3. The screen recording feature is Disabled.

Go to settings > Apps > Menu > System > Screen Recorder. And see if this option is disabled.
