Hi Hamed_Radwan,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities forum. We understand you're getting an error when trying to screen record on an iPad. We'd like to offer a few steps to start troubleshooting and recommend testing the feature again after each step.


  1. Verify the iOS is up to date in Settings > General > Software Update. Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
  2. Restart your iPad.
  3. If on, turn off Low Power Mode. Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone
  4. Verify storage space available on iPhone. How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


We do have additional steps if the issue remains, let us know.


Take care.
