Screen Recording will fail to save if you attempt to share before pressing "done" I found out this error after attempting to capture 5 minutes of video. Steps to reproduce: Open the screen recording feature (command + shift + 5) Click "Options" and set the "Save To" place to "Desktop" Select "Record Selected Portion" Record for at least 5 seconds, then stop the recording Click the image that pops up in the bottom right and attempt to share to "messages" The image will not render in the messages app, and the screen recording preview will disappear. Moreover, the video will not save to your desktop. Here's a gif of the screen recording bug.

Hello mp0277,

It appears you are getting an error message when trying to screen record on your iPhone. The first best step is to make sure your iOS is fully updated to iOS 16.5.1.

First, make sure you have a recent backup: Back up iPhone
Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Tap Install Now.
Once done your iPhone should restart.
Test a screen recording again.

Reply back with how it goes.

Best regards.
