Screen recording on by itself

This happened to my iPhone 12 before, now it happens to my new iphone15 pro max: the screen recording is turning on by itself without notifying, the red dot appears on the top screen. Once I tap that red dot, it stops and there is a recording in picture gallery. Is my phone being secretly remotely recorded? Or is this a glitch?

If you feel an unauthorized person/app is remotely using, controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...


  1. Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jailbreak
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
  5. Don't give in to Phishing
  6. Don't plug in your device in Airports and Public places through third-party cables and trust the device. Beware of Juice Jacking. (Especially in India)
  7. Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.


If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.
